A Fathers Arms Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

D A Bm G D A

DThe news it came to Ame as a surBmprise

 And I kGnew that I would Dhave to deal in Atime

 And as the Dmessenger wAalked right off the pBmorch

 A memGory came to Dme from times befAore

I remember when my dad was called away

My mother put his pictures all away

And now the time had come for me to go

To my love my tears I tried not to show

Chorus

GWith tear drops on my Aface

 Thinking 'Dbout that old homBmeplace

GRiding across the Aplanes in the rDain

Banjo solo

 The Dletters from my Adad described the Bmwar

 His Gfood was canned, Dhis boots they made him Asore

 And one Dletter from my Adad spoke of a Bmfriend

 Who got Glost between the Dwater and the Aland

Now I'm the one writing letters to my son

I'll be home as soon as the fightin's done

With my gun in hand I guess it's hard to see

What it was that used to be inside of me

Chorus

Guitar solo

BmToday we moved in sight of the F♯enemy

 Though I diAdn't even know what they had dF♯one

 The gBmeneral yelled to me, F♯when I count to three

AGet on your feet and start to Bmrun F♯ A

DThat's the last Aevent I can rBmecall

 The tGent was big but Dcould not hold us Aall

 Though I'll Dnever know what Agot the best of Bmme

 I Gswear I felt my Ddad looking over Ame

Chorus
