Oh Mother are you sleepin'?
C         Fadd9          C
  Did you pray for me tonight?
          C    Fadd9            C
Cause I'm alone    here on this front line
          C    Fadd9             C
Hoping I might     get back home alive.
 C       Fadd9        C
   I see the bullets flyin',
 C       Fadd9         C
   And I feel the bombs explode.
           C   Fadd9             C
I close my eyes     and pull this trigger
                 C   Fadd9            C
And kill these people    I don't even know.

Got 60 pounds upon my back.
Machine gun in my hand.
All day long clearin burned out shacks.
All these things I know I'll never understand.

And Mother, please forgive me
For these things that I have seen and done.
I hope I can still get home to heaven.
I wish I had a bible
Instead of this damn gun.
Oh, I wish I had a bible
Instead of this damn gun.

Oh, I wish that I could tell you
I was safe away from harm,
But everytime I close my eyes
Mama, I wish you could hold me in your arms.

And Mother, please forgive me
For these things that I have seen and done.
I hope I can still get home to heaven.
I wish I had a bible
Instead of this damn gun.

And Mother, please forgive me
For these things that I have seen and done.
I hope I can still get home to heaven.
I wish I had a bible
Instead of this damn gun.

Oh, I wish I had a bible
Instead of this damn gun.
