[Intro]
C  Fmaj7  G  x2

[Verse 1]
          C                                 Fmaj7
Well, I found a bunch of letters they were written for the fella
      G
Who broke your Momma's heart
           C             Fmaj7              G
And the envelope folds smelled of her ancient perfume
Fmaj7            G
I'll bet she didn't know
          C                 C/B        Am                    Fmaj7 G
How to respond before the blankets of snow caught him out wandering alone
                  C  Fmaj7  C
With no place to go

[Chorus]
Fmaj7                    G
And there was stars in the sky
             C           C/B                   Am
There were houses on the hill and there were bottles of pills
          Fmaj7      G                      C                 Fmaj7  C
That were easy to buy, keep her warm from the oncoming storm

[Verse 2]
          C                                Fmaj7
Well, I found them in the north-west corner of the attic in a box
       G
Labeled 'Tinsel and Lights'
         C                                Fmaj7         G
Didn't know what I was looking, maybe just a blanket or artifacts
 Fmaj7             G
Eisenhower sent him to war
         C                       C/B         Am                  Fmaj7
He kept her picture in his pocket that was closest to his heart and when he hit
           G                          C             Fmaj7  C      
the shore, must of been a target for the gunner-men

[Chorus]
Fmaj7                 G
There were stars in the sky
                C            C/B                   Am
And there were bunkers on the hill and there were caskets to fill
           Fmaj7         G                        C
Where he would lie, shrouded in the red, white and blue with the stripes
Fmaj7               G
There were stars in the sky
            C            C/B                      Am
There were houses on the hill and there were bottles of pills
            Fmaj7       G                        C             Fmaj7  C
That were easy to buy to keep her warm from the oncoming storm
