Letter To My Molly

Letter To My Molly is a song about a Confederate soldier at the battle of Shiloh which occurred on April 6-7, 1862. The song is easy to play and fun to learn. There are only four simple chords, Cm, Dm, Gm, and Bb. To hear Letter To My Molly, accompanied by a video of Civil War re-enactors, please click here. To help create the emotion in the song, most of the chords (Cm,Dm,Gm) are minor. Since the song tells the story of a soldier’s fears and apprehension, we play minor chords to help the listener feel what the soldier must have felt. The song, Letter To My Molly, was written and performed in January, 2015 by Doc Marshall. We hope you enjoy it!
