Tramp, Tramp, Tramp chords
George F. Root (1864)

AIn (x02220@1)my prison cell I sit,
          D (xx0232@1)              Athinking, (x02220@1)mother, dear, of you,
                                      Eand (022100@1)our bright and happy home so far away
       AAnd (x02220@1)my eyes they fill with tears,
          D (xx0232@1)            A'spite (x02220@1)of all that I can do,
                         E (022100@1)             Athough (x02220@1)I try to cheer my comrades and be gay.

ATramp! (x02220@1)Tramp! Tramp!

The boys are marching;
E (022100@1)       A (x02220@1)                 Echeer (022100@1)up, comrades, they will come.
      AAnd (x02220@1)beneath the starry flag
         D (xx0232@1)              Awe (x02220@1)shall breathe the air again
       D (xx0232@1)          E (022100@1)             AOf (x02220@1)the free land in our own beloved home.

A (x02220@1)       
In the battle front we stood,
           D (xx0232@1)                  Awhen (x02220@1)their fiercest charge they made,
                                       Eand (022100@1)they swept us off a hundred men or more
      ABut (x02220@1)before we reached their lines,
          D (xx0232@1)             Athey (x02220@1)were beaten back, dismayed,
                        E (022100@1)              Aand (x02220@1)we heard the cry of vict'ry o'er and o'er.

ATramp! (x02220@1)Tramp! Tramp!

The boys are marching;
E (022100@1)       A (x02220@1)                 Echeer (022100@1)up, comrades, they will come.
      AAnd (x02220@1)beneath the starry flag
         D (xx0232@1)              Awe (x02220@1)shall breathe the air again
       D (xx0232@1)          E (022100@1)             AOf (x02220@1)the free land in our own beloved home.

ASo (x02220@1)within the prison cell,
       D (xx0232@1)             Awe (x02220@1)are waiting for the day,
                                      Ethat (022100@1)shall come to open wide the iron door
        AAnd (x02220@1)the hollow eye grows bright,
        D (xx0232@1)               Aand (x02220@1)the poor heart almost gay,
                      E (022100@1)                   Aas (x02220@1)we think of seeing home and friends once more.

ATramp! (x02220@1)Tramp! Tramp!

The boys are marching;
E (022100@1)       A (x02220@1)                 Echeer (022100@1)up, comrades, they will come.
      AAnd (x02220@1)beneath the starry flag
         D (xx0232@1)              Awe (x02220@1)shall breathe the air again
       D (xx0232@1)          E (022100@1)             AOf (x02220@1)the free land in our own beloved home.
