C#mOh she knowsF#

BShe takes his hand

GmAnd prays the child will understand

C#mAt the door they wF#atch the men go byB

G#mIn the clothes that daddy wore

AMother?s pride

F#Baby boy

BHis fathers eyes

G#mHe?s a soldier waiting for warA

F#Time will come

He?ll hold a gun

His father?s son

C#mAnd as he growsF#

BHe hears the band

G#mTakes the step from boy to man

C#m& at the shore she wavesF# her son goodbyeB

G#mLike the man she did before

AMother?s pride

F#Just a boy

BHis country?s eyes

G#mHe?s a soldier waving at thAe shore

F#And in her heart the time has come

To lose a son

C#mAnd all the husbands, all the sons,

F#all the lovers gone

BThey make no difference

G#mNo difference in the end

C#mStill hear the woman sayF# your daddy died a heroB

G#mIn the name of God and name

AMother?s pride

F#Crazy boy

BHis lifeless eyes

G#mHe?s a soldier now forevermoreA

F#He?ll hold a gun ?till kingdom come
