E                A          A7
I'll miss you more than a brother when you go when you go
   D                         A
If only I had not tried to escape
      B7                    E         E7
They'd barred me with you I know yes I know
          A                   E                 A
Won't you tell the folks back home I'll soon be coming
                   E                    A       A7
And don't let them know I never will be free be free
D                                       A
Sometimes write and tell me how they're doing
           E                         A
And send a picture of mother back to me


[Chorus]
D                              A
Say hello to Dad and shake his poor hardworking hand
E                                   A
And send a picture of mother if you can


[Verse 2]
    A         E                     A
I'm happy for you that you got your freedom
    A            E                      A     A7
But stay with me just another minute or so or so
D                               A
After all this sweating blood together
       B7                              E           E7
Who'll be my fighting partner when you go when you go
       A              E            A
The hardest time will be on Sunday morning
                  E              A           A7
Church bells will ring on Heaven Hill Heaven Hill
D                                   A
Please ask Reverend Garrett to pray for me
           E                        A
And send a picture of mother if you will


[Chorus]
D                              A
Say hello to Dad and shake his poor hardworking hand
E                                   A
And send a picture of mother if you can
