  INTRO:          [C   F   G   G   C   F   G   G]

  

  VERSE ONE:      Well, I [C]found a bunch of letters

                  They were [F]written for the fellow

                  Who [G]broke your momma's heart

                  And the [C]envelope folds [F]smelled of her ancient per[G]fume

                  [F]I'll bet she didn't [G]know

                  How to re[C]spond to forty [C/B]blankets of [Am]snow

                  [Am/G]Caught him out [F]wandering a[G]lone

                  With no place to [C]go [F C]

  

  CHORUS I:       [F] There were stars in the [C]sky

                  There were [C]houses on the [C/B]hill

                  There were [Am]bottles and [Am/G]pills

                  That were [F]easy to buy to [G]keep her warm

                  From the [C]oncoming storm [F C]

  

  VERSE TWO:      Well, I found them in the northwest corner of the attic

                  In a box labeled "Tinsel and Lights"

                  Didn't know what I was looking for

                  Maybe just a blanket or artifacts

                  Eisenhower sent him to war

                  He kept her picture in his pocket that was closest to his heart

                  And when he hit shore, it must have been a target

                  For the gunner-men

  

  CHORUS II:      There were stars in the sky

                  There were bunkers in the hill

                  And there were caskets to fill where he would lie

                  Shrouded in the red, white & blue with the stripes

  repeat CHORUS I
