My take on this wonderful song, recently heard on Sons of Anarchy.  The Cadd9 is 
probably actually an F or a variation thereof, but I find it easier to add the 
finger picking with this, and it sounds pretty true to the original.

Standard tuning, capo 7th.

G (320003@1)  Cadd9 (x32030@1)  GMother, (320003@1)Try to do right by you

To do what you asked me to
       D (xx0232@1)  GI (320003@1)did wrong and I knew.

Mother I tried to behave for you 
Now I'm a digging a grave for you 
It was all I could do.

D (xx0232@1)		      CFind (x32010@1)a way back home, Make everything new 
		  GBut (320003@1)I wish it was true.

Father, well I'll give my soul to you
I came in blind folded for you 
It was all that I knew.

Open your arms and I'll fly out of hell up to you
I wish it was true.

Am (x02210@1)	 CBoy (x32010@1)come on out from the cold
				  GYour (320003@1)lost outside there don't you know
				 DIt's (xx0232@1)not what you say it was you do
				  AmJust (x02210@1)keep wishing your wishes are true
			       CWell (x32010@1)your dreams there reality now
			    GThere's (320003@1)no pain there's no misery
			      DJust (xx0232@1)polish the blood and the bruise
				CFor (x32010@1)there's just no way you can lose.
		  GBut (320003@1)I wish it was true.

Country, I was a solider for you
I did what you asked me to 
It was wrong and you knew.

Country, now I'm just a stranger to you
A number a name it's true
Throw me away when you're through.

D (xx0232@1)				  CHome (x32010@1)of the brave and free the, the red white and blue
		  GBut (320003@1)I wish it was true.
