Memorial Day Album

Pictures of Home (music sample)

by The Hippy Coyote
from the album: Memorial Day Album by American Zen

RIFF: Em - Am - Em

Pictures of home -- in my duffel bag
One in my wallet -- a picture of my wife
And the baby - I've yet to see
Just two more months until my Chirstmas reprieve

G__________________D
Looking at that photo -- fills me with hope

Am___________________G
Looking at these pictures -- not my gun scope

G_____________________D
Pictures of home fill me with love -- then with dread

Am_____________________B
Pictures of home remind me -- I'm not dead

The dog, the cat -- I miss my garage
My castle -- amidst this barrage
Of hateful scorns -- and a woman's spit
Yesterday Jimmy Q -- got hit

Of course I'm being careful
I'm coming back to my family
I'm gonna make it
This Chrismas you will see me

This is my last letter -- another week, I'll be there
Hugging and kissing and stroking your hair
Just another week -- be patient -- I love you
Seven more days of war -- and I'll be through

SOLO:

My Christmas present from you -- is a smile
Just look into my face -- talk to me awhile
That is the Heaven I dream and wait for
Please be patient -- just one week more

SOLO: (Em - Am - Em)4

Looking at that photo -- fills me with hope
Looking at these pictures -- not my gun scope
Pictures of home fill me with love -- then with dread
-- Reminding me -- I'm not dead

SOLO: (picking sticatto) (Em - Am - Em)4

SOLO: (power strums) (Em - Am - Em)4

My present from you -- is a smile
Just look into my face -- talk to me awhile
That is the Heaven I dream and wait for
Please be patient -- just one week more

Pictures of home -- Pictures of home
