[C#m] [B] [E]
Just a [B] picture [E] on a table, just [A] some letters [E] Mama saved
And a [B] costume brooch [E] from England on [F#] the back it has [B]
engraved
[E] To [B] Eileen, [E] I love you, London, [A] 1943
[E]
And she never heard [A] from him again, [B] and he never heard of [E] me
And the war still [B] ain't over [E] for Mama, every [C#m] night in her [E] dreams she [B] still sees
[E] The young face [B] of someone [E] who left her, [C#m] silver medals [B] and sweet [E] memories
[C#m] In [B] [E]
[B] Mama's [E] bedroom closet to [A] this day on her [E] top shelf
There's a flag [B] folded [E] three-corner [C#m] laying [F#] all [B] by itself
And [E] the [B] sergeant would surely [E] be honored to [A] know how pretty she [E] still is
And that after [A] all these lonely years, [B] his Eileen [E] still is
