Silver Dew On The Blue Grass Tonight

D                   G                   E7
The moon was softly shining on an old Kentucky home
A7                         D
The fragrance of magnolias filled the air
                                 G                     E7
A lonely girl was writing to her sweetheart ’cross the foam
A7                               D
May God protect you darling over there

Silver dew on the bluegrass tonight
                                   D
How it shines in the moon's silver light
             D7            G                     E7
Soldier boy so far from me how I wish that you could see
  A7                        D
Silver dew on the bluegrass tonight

                                     D
While they fight for the cause that is right
     D7                                  G            E7
They will keep that flag on high for the ones who had to die

While I pray you'll come safe through the fight
        D7                   G                     E7
Close your eyes and think of me and my darling you will see

Silver dew on the bluegrass tonight
