A5                          E5                                G5
      He marches through the barricades and fights across the line

                         D5
He?s seen some things he never thought he?d see

A5                            E5                  G5
    He?s working through each order one step at a time

                    D5
He?s not allowed to dream of where he could be

~

      C5                 A5
Cause she?s at home and crying for him

      E5                         D5
While he?s out there and they?re dyin? for him

C5                 A5
One wrong move is all it takes to 

E5          D5
Take a life away

~
           C5
He?ll keep marching,

           A5                E5
He?ll keep fighting till the sun appears again

            C5
He?ll never stop but

         A5              E5
It?ll be worth it in the 

              C5               A5            E5        
When he comes home to see his family happy, laughing and alive

            C5
He wouldn?t change a thing cause

A5                E5
He helped them survive

       C5
In the dark

       A5
In the light

       E5
In the war that he just came from

              C5 
Right to the end

        A5
He will fight

      E5
Until everything is done

           C5               A5
He?ll keep marching in the sand

       E5
To the sound of the old drum band

        C5           A5          E5
That is waiting for him to come home

~
 
A5                     E5                              G5
      A maiden met her perfect man amongst the summer grass

              D5
A memory that haunts inside her mind

A5                     E5                                  G5
    He?s trying to get home but knows the others would not last

              D5
Just a little longer will be fine

~

      C5                 A5
Cause she?s at home and crying for him

      E5                         D5
While he?s out there and they?re dyin? for him

C5                 A5
One wrong move is all it takes to 

E5          D5
Take a life away

~
           C5
He?ll keep marching,

           A5                E5
He?ll keep fighting till the sun appears again

            C5
He?ll never stop but

         A5              E5
It?ll be worth it in the 

              C5               A5            E5        
When he comes home to see his family happy, laughing and alive

            C5
He wouldn?t change a thing cause

A5                E5
He helped them survive

       C5
In the dark

       A5
In the light

       E5
In the war that he just came from

              C5 
Right to the end

        A5
He will fight

      E5
Until everything is done

           C5               A5
He?ll keep marching in the sand

       E5
To the sound of the old drum band

        C5           A5          E5
That is waiting for him to come home

A5                          E5                                  G5
       She's sitting in the kitchen when she hears the doorbell ring.

                     D5
She sees two men she hoped she?s never see.

A5                      E5                           G5
      She has to take a seat when they tell her everything

                      D5
She?s breaking as she thinks: what could have been

~

      C5                 A5
Now she?s at home and crying for him

E5             D5
No one else is dyin? for him

C5                  A5
One wrong move was all it took to 

E5          D5
Take his life away

~

             C5
He's stopped marching 

             A5
He?s stopped fighting 

        E5
And the sun appeared again 

          C5               A5              E5
He had to stop but it was worth it in the end

                C5               A5
Though he?s not home to see his family happy

E5
Laughing and alive 

            C5 
He wouldn't change a thing 

      A5              E5
Cause he helped them survive

       C5
In the dark

       A5
In the light

       E5
In the war that he had fought in 

          C5
Until the end 

             A5
He shined so bright 

        E5
And now everything is done 
 
         C5            A5
Now he's lying in the sand

        E5
And the beat of the old drum band

          C5           A5                  E5
Plays out melodies of those that want him home
