[Intro]
G# Eb/G Fm F# Fm
[Verse 1]
G# Bbm How to make amends for the things they say F# G# The girls avoid the stormy sky A F# But I and my cloudy face F# G# Will be gone, high-tailing out of here G# Bbm Is the lights a-blazing in their lonely town? F# G# I love the little cars at dawn A F# But I and my heathen heart F# G# Will be lain upon some foreign shore A F Here's the saddest Joe on the corner of the town F#m D "Listen to the words!" he cries G# Ebsus4 Eb I love him in his craziness, his tatters and his courage Edim F He'll thumb his nose at the straight and true
[Chorus]
G# Eb/G When the boys come marching home Edim F They'll fly his rags from the highest tree G# Eb/G When the boys come marching home Fm F# (when the boys come marching home) Fm F# (home, marching home)
[Verse 2]
G# Bbm Aching for some innocence and peace of mind F# G# While the moon pulls up its net of souls A F# The sun presses down on my brave new world F# G# But, in truth, i don't feel brave at all G# Bbm Leave it all behind me to the townies and the wags F# G# The kids who never learned to smile A F# While I and the cobbled nag I ride F#m G# Stumble down another weary mile A Here's to those who cluster F Walking through the wars F#m D The girls who never close 'til dawn G# They rag upon the feeble Ebsus4 Eb And they swan around the stronger Edim F But their eyes are fixed on the edge of town G# Eb/G When the boys come marching home Edim Fm They'll slide from view - tiny, two by two
[Chorus]
G# Eb/G When the boys come marching home Fm F# (home, marching home) Fm F# (home, marching home) G# Eb/G When the boys come marching home Fm F# (when the boys come marching home) Fm F# Boys come marching home Fm F# (home, marching home) G# Eb/G (home, when the boys come marching home) Fm (home, marching home) F# (home) G# Eb/G (when the boys come marching home)
