Intro: Eb 

verse 1 

Eb 
You might think there's some big reason 
                Bb      Eb 
Why I took this time to write 
                                             Bb 
The cards and letters there been too few of those 
        Ab      Bb  Eb      G                   Ab 
 I just stopped to realize, how long did I been home 
     Eb                 Bb                Eb 
and There's a few small things I need to know

      Bb           Ab                 Bb                Eb 
Dear Daddy, do the Whippoorwill still echo through the night? 
          Ab              Bb                  Eb 
Does the sound of silence squeeze the morning light? 
    Ab                  Bb             Eb                 Ab  Eb Fm 
And have you caught the big one in the pond just down the road 
           Eb 
I miss you so

verse 2 

Eb 
Well, the years keeps slipping by me 
                   Bb     Eb 
Like the miles out on the road 
                                         Bb 
But I don't guess I'll change my way of life 
            Ab             Eb 
There's no harm in holdin' memories 
          Gm             Ab 
So please tell me if you can 
  Eb 
I need to bring them old times inside 



[Refrão]
    Bb     Ab                     Bb         Eb 
Dear Momma, can you still find the dipper in stars? 
       Ab                 Bb            Eb 
do the roads still go for hours without cars? 
             Ab                      Bb 
And does the frost still shine, cold morning 
        Eb    Gm         Ab  Gm  Fm        
On the grass outside the door 
           Eb              Bb 
Just like before, tell me more 

verse 3 

    Ab              Bb                Eb 
And I'll be back to see you sometime soon 
        Ab                  Bb               Eb 
Can you still reach out and almost touch the moon? 
           Ab              Bb 
And do the old songs still ring out 
            Eb                 Ab  Fm  Bb 
Through the hills for days and days 
      Eb 
Love always
