[Intro]
C  Fmaj7  G  x2

[Verse 1]
          C                     
Well, I found a bunch of letters 
            Fmaj7
they were written for the fella
      G
Who broke your Momma's heart
           C             Fmaj7    
And the envelope folds smelled of 
          G
her ancient perfume
Fmaj7            G
I'll bet she didn't know
          C                 C/B   
How to respond before the blankets
     Am                    Fmaj7 
 of snow caught him out wandering 
G
alone

                  C  Fmaj7  C
With no place to go

[Chorus]
Fmaj7                    G
And there was stars in the sky
             C           C/B      
There were houses on the hill and 
             Am
there were bottles of pills
          Fmaj7      G            
That were easy to buy, keep her 
          C                 Fmaj7  C
warm from the oncoming storm

[Verse 2]
          C                        
Well, I found them in the 
        Fmaj7
north-west corner of the attic in a 
box
       G
Labeled 'Tinsel and Lights'
         C                     
Didn't know what I was looking, 
           Fmaj7         G
maybe just a blanket or artifacts
 Fmaj7             G
Eisenhower sent him to war
         C                       
He kept her picture in his pocket
C/B         Am                  
 that was closest to his heart 
Fmaj7
and when he hit
           G                       
the shore, must of been a target 
   C             Fmaj7  C
for the gunner-men

[Chorus]
Fmaj7                 G
There were stars in the sky
                C            C/B  
And there were bunkers on the hill
                 Am
 and there were caskets to fill
           Fmaj7         G        
Where he would lie, shrouded in 
                C
the red, white and blue with the 
stripes
Fmaj7               G
There were stars in the sky
            C            C/B      
There were houses on the hill and 
                Am
there were bottles of pills
            Fmaj7       G         
That were easy to buy to keep her 
               C             Fmaj7
warm from the oncoming storm
  C
