Album: The Last Suit You Wear
Intro: (D)//// //// //// ////
D G D
Well he called her on the telephone two weeks ago to- -day ////
A A7
He said now don't you worry mom, I promise I'm o- -kay //// ////
D G D
She tried hard to hide from him her tears and all her pain ////
G D A7 D
But he could read be- -tween the lines and the miles so far a- -way //// ////
D G D
She had never tried to tell him, how she hoped he would not go ////
A A7
To join the fight for freedom, and the country he loved so //// ////
D G D
He said I called to tell you, what I knew you'd want to know ////
G A7 D D7
That in just two weeks, dear mom, I'm coming home //// ////
G D D7
And she could not believe the words, her precious son did say ////
G D A7 D
She had dreamed of seeing him again, how it would be only days ////
G D
And she wondered how this day could be, a million times be- -fore //// ////
A7 D
Just to know her one and only son would be coming home from war
//// //// //// //// //// ////
D G D
Five days later she was home when a knock came on her door ////
A A7
And there she found two officers, in army uni- -forms //// ////
D G D
With their heads bowed low, their hats in hands, she knew what they would say ////
G D A7 D
I'm sorry to in- -form you, he was killed in war to- -day //// ////
D G D
The neighbors came to see the cause for the cry they heard that day ////
A A7
For a mother's life was shattered as the two men walked a- -way //// ////
D G D
And no one could help her, as she cried such bitter tears ////
G D A7 D D7
She was begging God to give him back, the son she loved so dear //// ////
G D
And she could not believe the words, the officers did say ////
G D A7 D
She had dreamed to see her son again but hoped it'd be not this way ////
G D
She wondered how this day could feel, a million times be- -fore //// ////
A7 D
But she prayed they'd never bring him home, a casualty of war ////
