Verse 1
G GThere's a letter to your mother that is hidden is my desk
C GThat I wrote to her in a sober mind
C GIt's my apology for all the things I used to be
Em C GAnd swearin' I'll change over time
G GShe might not believe me 'cause no one ever does
C GExcept her daughter that loves me true
C GGod forbid all it takes for a boy to finally wait
Em C GJust to be cherished and loved all the way through
Verse 2
G GShe lets me drink my liquor when I'm singin' through the night
C GShe slaps my hand when it's too much
C GShe's mean and she's kind, strong and divine
Em C GAnd Lord only knows how tough
Chorus
Em C GSo dear Miss, by the time you see this
G C EmIt'll be in love or it'll be in pain

Verse 4
G GShe was raised up proper and I was raised up
C GWith a poor working boy's heart

Em C GIs the finest of the world's fine art
