Gm        Cadd9/E
  Oh, she knows

              F
She takes his hand

    Dm
And prays the child will understand

Gm               Cadd9/E          F
At the door they watch the men go by

Dm
In the clothes that daddy wore

[Chorus]

Eb
Mother’s pride

C/E
Baby boy

    F
His father’s eyes

       Dm                    Eb
He’s a soldier waiting for a war

          Csus4/E
Time will come

             Csus4
He’ll hold a gun

             C
His father’s son

Gm          Cadd9/E
  And as he grows

               F
He hears the band

Dm
Takes the step from boy to man

Gm               Cadd9/E           F
At the shore she waves her son goodbye

Dm
Like the man she did before

[Chorus]

Eb
Mother’s pride

C/E
Just a boy

    F
His country’s eyes

       Dm                    Eb
He’s a soldier waving at the shore

           Csus4/E
And in her heart

             Csus4
the time has come

          C
To lose a son

Gm                                  Cadd9/E
And all the husbands, all the sons, all the lovers gone

          F
They make no difference

   Dm
No difference in the end

Gm                      Cadd9/E               F
   Still hear the woman say your daddy died a hero

Dm
In the name of God and man

[Chorus]

Eb
Mother’s pride

C/E
Crazy boy

    F
His lifeless eyes

       Dm                 Eb
He’s a soldier now forevermore

|  Csus4/E   |    Csus4                 C
     He’ll hold a gun ... ‘till kingdom come
