Dear Mom,

______________Dm7
I just thought I'd write a short letter

__F___________________E
To tell you that everything's fine

___Am______________Dm_____G
I'm going to be gone for a long long time

________Em_________E
I know I'll miss you very much

 

_______F____G____Am
Give my love to all the family

_____F_____G______Em
Good luck explaining to Dad

_____F
Yes, I love you too

___________________G_________(Am - Dm7-F-E)  (Am-Dm7-G-Em-E)
It's not your fault that it turned out so bad

 

__Am______________Dm7
I won't be home for the holidays

___F____________________E
My face you many never again see

___Am
I'm sorry for my mistakes

_____Dm7__________________G  - Em-E
This is not how I'd hoped it would be

 

_______F____G____Am
Give my love to all the family

___________F_______G_____Em
And take good care of my cat and dog

The cat will be be fine

________________G_____Am - Dm7 - F - E
