                G      C      G  
And then at the end he said, "You
          Am           F

          F   G        C
with every word that she read
               G       C        
It said "I was up on a hill I was 
   G         C
out there alone
         G                     
When the shots all rang out and 
 F
bombs were exploding
G             C           G     
That's when I saw him, he came 
        C
back for me
      G           C          F   
And though he was captured a man 
       G
set me free
         F   G        Am         
And that man was your son he 
        G        C
asked me to write to you
             G            Am
I told him I would, oh, I swore,"
            F           G         
It was the last of the letters 
  C

         Am
And she prayed he was living
C                      F
Kept on believing and wrote every 
night just to say.

Chorus:
         G C           G C
"You are good and your brave
        C           F      
What a father that you'll be 
    G
someday,
        G C         G C          
Make it home make it safe," and 
F                        G     G7 C

 F             C                  
Then two years later, Autumn 
       G    G7 C

        F           C             
A car pulls in the drive way, and 
    F    G       C     F
she fell to the ground
                C                
And out steps a Captain where her

And I've come home again."
             G    C    Am        
He ran in to hold her dropped all
