[Intro]
|C |C/B |Am |F/A |C/G |C/G |G |G
[Verse]
C C/B
This could be my last letter
Am F/A C G
I may never see the cotton fields of home again
C C/B
I miss you, Dear Sister
Am F/A C G
To- night I never felt so all alone
[Chorus]
Am F C Am G
And the fog was so thick that the Stone's River stars
Am F C Am G
Could scarcely in- vade the dread and the dark
C C/B Am G
And all that I could see when I closed my eyes to dream
C/E F C Am G
Was home, sweet home
[Solo]
|Dm |Am |G |G
[Verse]
C C/B
In the camps of Round Forest
Am G F C G
The midnight coals were glowing through the haze
C C/B
The union boys sang Hail Columbia
Am F C G
Then we sang Look Away, Look Away
[Chorus]
Am F C Am G
And then a hush in the rain and there rose a sweet re- frain
Am F C Am G
In the dark before dawn, in- stead of battle songs
D D/C# Bm A
The enemy and we all sang a melody
F C Am G
Was home, sweet home
[Solo]
|C |C/B |Am |F |C |CAm|G |G |
|C |C/B |Am |F |C |CAm|G |G |
|Am |F |CAm|G |Am |F |C |CAm|G
[Verse]
C C/B
So if this is my last letter
Am G F C/G G
And I never see the cotton fields of home again
C C/B
If I fall here at Stone?fs River
Am G F C G
I know that God will bear away my soul to be with Him
[Chorus]
Am G F C Am G
And I'll wait for you there where all is bright and fair
Am G F C Am G
Where the light of His face out- shines the Blue and Gray
C C/B Am G
Where all of human- kind, yes, every man will find
C/E F C Am G
His home, sweet home
[Outro]
