This is a song that started out as a poem a friend of mine sent to me a long time ago.
[D]
And her mom had saved the poem from when she was a nurse in the Philippines during World War II at a military hospital.
And they sent the poem to me and I made it into a song.
It's a long time ago now, but a couple of people recorded it before I [G#m] did and finally put out a version myself.
And my friend who sent me the poem did a search on the internet and [D] found the author's name of the poem that this is [B] based on.
Her name was Elma Dean and she was [D] from western Pennsylvania.
This is called Let Them In.
