Oh Mother are you sleepin'?

D         Cadd9          G
  Did you pray for me tonight?

          D    Cadd9            G
Cause I'm alone    here on this front line

          D    Cadd9             G
Hoping I might     get back home alive.

 D       Cadd9        G
   I see the bullets flyin',

 D       Cadd9         G
   And I feel the bombs explode.

           D   Cadd9             G
I close my eyes     and pull this trigger

                 D   Cadd9            G
And kill these people    I don't even know.

       For these things that I have seen and done.

              D      Cadd9             G
       I hope I can still get home to heaven.

                      D     Cadd9                    G
