[Dm] [G]
When I got [F] your letter baby, I was in a foxhole on [C] my knees.
Oh yes I was.
And your letter brought me [G] so much strength.
Tell you what I did baby, [F] you won't believe it.
I raised up and got me [C] two more enemies.
Oh [F] yes I did.
[G] Listen, [Em] that's why [C] I'm in here.
And I'm [F] gonna make it.
Yeah I'm gonna [C] make it back home.
I believe that [G] I'm gonna make it.
And baby [F] I'll be home before [G] you can say
[C] Jack and Robinson.
[F] Oh yes we will.
[C] Yes we [G] will.
Sometimes I wonder, do [F] you really love me?
Then I think of something sweet [C] you once said to me.
And the thought makes me [G] feel so good inside.
I raised up and got me [C] two more enemies.
[F] Oh yes I do.
[G]
Listen [C] baby, oh [F] baby, [C] I wished a thousand times
that we had gotten married before I left [F] home for Vietnam.
But [G] then when I [C] see so many of my buddies getting shot down all around
[F] it makes me kind of glad that we waited.
[C]
Because I don't want to leave you at home being a widow and all.
I know you [F] understand baby.
Listen darling, they [C] promised me a furlough on the 15th of next month.
And I [Cm] want you to say [F] a prayer tonight that my furlough [C] will come through
so I can come home to be with you.
And tomorrow, oh [G] tomorrow, nobody tell my mom and daddy that I love them
and for them not to worry about me.
Listen, [C] cause I believe that I'm [F] gonna make it.
Yeah, everybody, [C] that's what I believe.
That I'm [G] gonna make it.
And [F] baby I'll be home before you [G] can say
that [C] man ain't loving [F]
you.
