[Intro] C G C G C Em D G [Verse 1]
G                       Cadd9
Waiting on the sunrise, I've given up on sleep

Em                                D    Cadd9       G        C  G
My only thoughts are with you all back home in Tennessee

G                                  Cadd9
They dug in on the hilltop, we got cover in the trees

Em                                  D    Cadd9   G        C  G
Between the two and open field, it looks like hell to me

I don’t see no other way

Em                                D    Cadd9     G      C   G
Every night I slept by your side,happy just being home

G                              Cadd9

Em                                     D     Cadd9       G     C   G
It breaks my heart, we're kept apart, still fighting to be done

To my dearest wife I write

[Bridge]
G               C    G
My eyes have seen the glory

Em                 D           G
The glory of the coming of the Lord

G                     C        G
And he is trampling at the vintage

Em                    D                   G
The vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored
[Verse 3]
G                          Cadd9
Now the sun is risen, you mean the world to me

Em                                     D  Cadd9  G        C  G
My thoughts must turn to work at hand, far from Tennessee

G                                           Cadd9
They're dug in on the hilltop, we leave the cover of the trees

Em                                       D    Cadd9  G      C  G
We'll march across that open field that looks like hell to me
[Chorus]
Em            C         G
To my dearest wife I write

Em             C        G
Kiss our baby girls tonight

Em                 C        G
Tomorrow’s battle will not wait

Em              C       G
I don’t see no other way

Em              C          G
The bride of war wears blood and fire

Em                 C         G
Hand in hand Death walks beside her

Em                          C        G
We'll cross the field, lay all to waste

Em             C         G
I don't see no other way

Em                 C       G
And to my dearest wife I write

Em               C         G
Kiss our baby girls tonight
