Yesterday I got a letter from my friend fighting in Vietnam

D7            G              C
  And this is what he had to say

            C                                F
Tell all my friends that I'll be coming home soon

D7                G              C
  My time will be up sometime in June

                 C                      F

Now, Mistress Brown, she lives in the USA

D7            G                  C
  And this is what she wrote and said

           C                                F
"Don't be alarmed" she told me the telegram said

D7              G                  C
  "But Mistress Brown, your son is dead" and it came from ...
