Mother’s Prayer

Key of G · Chords: I IV V

Verse

G
The postman came and brought a letter
                C            D7
It was from her boy who went away
             C              G
She gave him up to join the colors
                    D7         G
Each time he writes I hear her pray

Chorus

               C              G
Dear God watch o’er my boy in service
                 D7
Help him win his victory
         C                 G
And when this cruel war is over
Bring him safely back to me

Verse

Then came the day they walked together
       C                   D7
To the train that took him away
             C              G
She knew her boy would be a hero
                D7             G
Her smilin eyes just seemed to say

Verse

Now soldier boy don’t e’er forger her
             C                D7
She prays to God for you each day
              C     G
That harm may never overtake you
                       D7  G
While you are fighting far away
