Tonart: Eb major
Intro 1
G
Verse 1
G
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
D
to be gone.
But there are songs that need singing,
G
D
And there are things
G
Bb
that must be done.
There are thoughts that still
need thinking,
D
And there are wars that must be won.
Verse 2
G
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
D
understand.
G
The flag still waves, his war is over,
D
G
Bb
He'll never have to kill again.
And as she waits, she thinks it over,
D
Is winning worth the prize we pay to win?
Verse 3
G
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
G
And ev'ry day when play was over,
D
G
He'd put his little toys away.
Bb
And she'd be standing,
waiting for him,
D
The way she's waiting here today.
Verse 4
G
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
G
These last few minutes seem like hours,
D
G
Bb
She tries her best not to cry.
But there's that hearse
filled up with flowers,
D
Did he really have to die?
Verse 5
No, no, no, no, no,
F
G
No, no, no,
No, no,
No,
No, no, no,
No,
No, no, no, no, no.
