Capoed up on the 2nd fret. I left out the
suspensions etc... It's more or less like this:
C Em Halfway around the world tonight F G C In a strange and foreign land Am Em A soldier packs his memories F G As he leaves Afghanistan Am Em And back home they don't know too much F G There's just no way to tell C Em I guess you had to be there F G For to know that war was hell
Chorus:
F Am F And there won't be any victory parades C F For those that's coming back Am Em They'll fly them in at midnight F G And unload the body sacks Am Em And the living will be walking down F G A long and lonely road C Em Because nobody seems to care these days F G C When a soldier makes it home C Em They'll say it wasn't easy F G C Just another job well done Am Em As the government in Kabul falls F G To the sounds of rebel guns Am Em And the faces of the comrades F G Being blown out of the sky C Em Leaves you bitter with the feeling F G That they didn't have to die F Am F And there won't be any victory parades C F For those that's coming back Am Em They'll fly them in at midnight F G And unload the body sacks Am Em And the living will be walking down F G A long and lonely road C Em Because nobody seems to care these days F G C When a soldier makes it home C Em Halfway around the world tonight F G C In a strange and foreign land Am Em A soldier unpacks memories F G That he saved from Vietnam Am Em Back home they didn't know too much F G There was just no way to tell C Em I guess you had to be there F G For to know that war was hell F Am F And there wasn't any big parades C F For those that made it back Am Em They flew them in at midnight F G And unloaded all the sacks Am Em And the living were left walking down F G A long and lonely road C Em Because nobody seemed to care back then F G C When a soldier made it home C Em The night is coming quickly F G C And the stars are on their way Am Em As I stare into the evening F G Looking for the words to say Am Em That I saw the lonely soldier F G Just a boy that's far from home C Em And I saw that I was just like him F G While upon this earth I roam F Am F And there may not be any big parades C F If I ever make it back Am Em As I come home under cover F G Through a world that can't keep track Am Em Of the heroes who have fallen F G Let alone the ones who won't C Em Which is why nobody seems to care F G C When a soldier makes it home
