LAST LETTER HOME

(Lyrics by David "Butch" Mcdade / James.H.Brown Jnr)

Transcribed by Alan Percy

The Amazing Rhythm Aces

From the Album "Burning the Ballroom Down"

Verse .1.

(D)I have heard the cannons thundering all(G)night

And I(D)cannot sleep for wondering why's a rebels cause so(A)right

And the(D)morphine seems to do no good at(G)all

And I would(A)run away it I would not(D)fall

Verse .2.

I joined the southern cavalry for(G)fun

And I had(D)rode a thousand horses

Always had a way with a(A)gun

Now I'm(D)among the horseless riders Iying(G)still

Swallowed(A)up by the cause on the widows(D)hill

Chorus

And I(Bm)dreamed about a rose in a Spanish(F#m)garden

And I(Bm)kissed you and I placed it in your(F#m)hair (A)

And if I'm(D)ever on my feet again I(G)will

And I will(A)run all the way just to meet you(D)there.

Verse .3 (Added on the 1996 Album "Ride Again Vol.1)

Through the day I watched those southern boys go(G)down

And they(D)lay like Georgia peaches bruised and broken on the(A)ground

Through the(D)night I wondered was it worth the(G)pain

And I(A)cried not revenge I called your(D)name

Repeat Chorus
