Mothers Prayer Chords

G
The postman came and brought a letter
 
                C             D7
It was from her boy that went away
 
             C              G
She gave him up to join the colors
 
                    D7         G
Each time he writes I hear her pray
 
 
               C              G
Dear God watch over my boy in service
 
                         D7
Help him win the victory there
 
              C                G
And when this cruel old war is over
 
              D7          G
Send him home to mother's prayer
 
 
 
The day he left they walked together
 
            C                   D7
Down to the train that took him away
 
             C              G
She knew her boy would be a hero
 
                 D7             G
Her smiling eyes just seemed to pray
 
 
               C              G
Dear God watch over my boy in service
 
                         D7
Help him win the victory there
 
              C                G
And when this cruel old war is over
 
              D7          G
Send him home to mother's prayer
 
 
 
Oh soldier boy don't ever forget her
 
             C                D7
She prays to God for you each day
 
              C         G
That harm may never overtake you
 
                     D7   G
When you're fighting far away
 
 
               C              G
Dear God watch over my boy in service
 
                         D7
Help him win the victory there
 
              C                G
And when this cruel old war is over
 
              D7          G
Send him home to mother's prayer
