Gm
I come from Carolina - the middle of this day
F Gm
Got married to a soldier boy in 1968
Gm Am
Or was it '69 now - my memory don't serve me well
Gm F Gm
Oh, oh...
Gm
Papa he cried for his little girl Mama she cried for joy
F Gm
Me I lay awake and cry for the love of my soldier boy
Gm Am
Some say that he went crazy some say he was before
Gm
Mama mama pray for me, Mama mama pray for me
Gm F Gm
Mama mama pray for me, me and my soldier boy
Gm
Outside the rain comes pouring down
Gm
Through the rain I hear him call
Gm
Half-past ten and he wants in
F Gm
Ain't nothin' gonna stop him at all
Gm Am
"Oh come to me my soldier, come to me my life
Gm F Gm
Come to me my soldier boy on this our wedding night..."
Gm
His shadow fills my doorway
Gm
His weapon in his hand
Gm
I hear him scream to no one there
F Gm
He'll drop us where we stand
Gm Am
And in his eyes a fire burns this village he takes down
Gm F Gm
And from the wall one Silver Star now falls without a sound
Gm
I hear him pull the trigger
Gm
They say he felt no pain
Gm
I left lying where he stood
Gm F Gm
Face down in the pouring rain
Gm Am
And on the ground beneath his head a Silver Star does lay
Gm F Gm
And in his fist one single rose from this our wedding day
Gm
My name is Marley Peyton, my middle name is Rose
Gm F Gm
I never met nobody from up North I don't suppose
Gm Am
But I can sing a song for you you can sing it too
Gm
"Twinkle twinkle Silver Star
Twinkle twinkle Silver Star
Gm F Gm
I will wait for you..."
