Verse 1
(C major) (F major) (C major) (F major) (C major) Dear Evelyn,
it's been (F major) 8 months,
2 weeks, 3 days
since I've (C major) been home
Now I'm in the middle
(E minor) of the old James River
and it's getting cold (A minor) (D minor)
And there ain't (C major) much (G major) hope, I (C major) can't begin
To tell (F major) you how I miss
the life that could (C major) have been
To feel (E minor) you close, the smell,
the warmth, the de (A minor) sire fed
(D minor) But you'd best (C major) get moving (G major) on
They might (E minor) have lost the
battle there at (A minor) Gettysburg
But He (D minor) captured me (C major) (G major)
They packed us, tattered,
shattered all on a (A minor) belching train
For the (D minor) capital of (C major) the Con
(G major) federacy (C major) (F major)
(C major) (F major)
Now I can see (C major) Richmond
From the (F major) smooth stone shore
here on Belle Isle (C major) prison
It looms (E minor) like an old white
devil out for (A minor) heaven
(D minor) Making this (C major) place (G major) hell
Where your broth (C major) ers
Steal (F major) your only blanket
while you're (C major) sleeping
Sell it (E minor) to you in the morning
for your scrap (A minor) rations
(D minor) Ain't no (F major) way to win (G major)
We might (E minor) have won the battle
there in (A minor) Gettysburg,
but we (D minor) lost ourselves. (C major) (G major) This
evil rock was once so beautiful,
(E minor) but (A minor) look around, what (D minor) man will do
(C major) with his conscience (G major) quelled. (A minor)
(E minor) (A minor) (E minor)
(F major) (D minor)
I'm (A minor) not sure if (F major) (E minor) (F major) (G major) it's a (F major) (C major) good idea or not,
but I and I (F major) (C major) (F major)
Dear (C major) Evelyn,
my hori (F major) zon's hemmed by cannons
aimed by (C major) grey old men
Five (E minor) steps towards the deadline
and I'll (A minor) beat them in
(D minor) To the (C major) arms of our (G major) Lord
(E minor) an (G major) d I plan to ask (C major) Him then
Where (F major) he is when men treat men
like (C major) rats in filth
Where (E minor) folks can freeze to death
a mile from (A minor) un earned wealth
(D minor) Though it (C major) ain't my place (G major)
No, my (E minor) place is in your arms
on our farm (A minor) in Rochester
(D minor) Raising up some boys (C major) with your green (G major) eyes
If I die tonight under (E minor) the (A minor) frozen moon
Your (D minor) name will walk the (C major) bridge
of my last (G major) sigh
Dear (C major) Evelyn (F major) (C major) (E minor)
(A minor) (D minor) (C major) (G major)
Dear (C major) Evelyn
