Tonart: Eb major•
Intro 1
Ab
Verse 1
Ab
Patiently she stares down the runway,
Today's the day that he
is coming home.
Seems like he's been gone a life time
And a life time is a long time
Eb
to be gone.
But there are songs that need singing,
Ab
Eb
And there are things
Ab
Cb
that must be done.
There are thoughts that still
need thinking,
Eb
And there are wars that must be won.
Verse 2
Ab
He was just a boy when they sent for him
And overnight turned him into a man.
Proudly he had served his country
In a war he didn't seem to
Eb
understand.
Ab
The flag still waves, his war is over,
Eb
Ab
Cb
He'll never have to kill again.
And as she waits, she thinks it over,
Eb
Is winning worth the prize we pay to win?
Verse 3
Ab
Her thoughts keep wandering
to his childhood,
When all his hand grenades
were merely toys.
And "war" was just a game
that he was playing
With plastic guns like other
Eb
little boys.
Ab
And ev'ry day when play was over,
Eb
Ab
He'd put his little toys away.
B
And she'd be standing,
waiting for him,
Eb
The way she's waiting here today.
Verse 4
Ab
As the plane stops she starts thinking,
Will he still look the way he did before?
Or will his eyes reflect the pain of killing,
Like most young men when they
Eb
come home from war?
Ab
These last few minutes seem like hours,
Eb
Ab
B
She tries her best not to cry.
But there's that hearse
filled up with flowers,
Eb
Did he really have to die?
Verse 5
Ab
No, no, no, no,
No, no, no, no, no,
Gb
Ab
No, no, no,
No, no,
Gb
No, no,
Ab
No, no, no,
No,
No, no, no,
No,
No, no, no, no, no.
