The Louvin Brothers - From Mothers Arms To Korea Chords

[Intro]
G D G
 
 
[Chorus]
G
From mother's arms to Korea
G                                D7
And tomorrow I'll face the front lines
D        G
Well the next line was wrote by his buddy
G                   D7         G
From a foxhole to a mansion on high
 
 
[Verse 1]
G
They sent her an unfinished diary
G                              D7
That she once gave her darling son
   G
It starts the day when he left her
G                  D7      G
And ends neath the enemy's gun
 
 
{Chorus]
G
From mother's arms to Korea
G                                D7
And tomorrow I'll face the front lines
D        G
Well the next line was wrote by his buddy
G                   D7         G
From a foxhole to a mansion on high
 
[Instrumental]
G D G
 
[Verse 2]
G
Last night I saw mother kneeling
                          D7
By the old hearthstone to pray
      G
In my dream I thought I was with her
                  D7            G
And that's all my darling could say
 
 
[Chorus]
G
From mother's arms to Korea
G                                D7
And tomorrow I'll face the front lines
D        G
Well the next line was wrote by his buddy
G                   D7         G
From a foxhole to a mansion on high
 
 
{Verse 3}
G
Please tell his sweetheart who's waiting
                          D7
For his ship to anchor at shore
   C                    G
To change her plans and forget him
               D7      G
Her lips he'll kiss no more
 
 
[Chorus]
G
From mother's arms to Korea
G                                D7
And tomorrow I'll face the front lines
D        G
Well the next line was wrote by his buddy
G                   D7         G
From a foxhole to a mansion on high
