A       E       D      A
Nodding tho the lamp's lit low,

E       A       D    E
Nod for passers underground.

A      E         D   A
To and fro she's darning,

    E       A       F#m     E
the land is weeping red and pale.

E            D    F#m  E
Weeping yarn from Algiers.

             D    F#m  E
Weeping yarn from Algiers.

A       E       D        A
Weaving tho the eyes are pale,

E         A         D    E
What will rend will also mend.

A       E        D   A
Sifting cloth is binding,

    E         A           F#m   E
the dream she weaves will never end.

E                  D      F#m  E
For we're marching toward Algiers.

                   D   F#m  E
For we're marching for Algiers.

A       E   D      A
Lullaby tho baby's gone.

E    A    D      E
Lullaby a broken song.

A       E      D       A
Oh, the cradle was our call.

E       A         F#m     E
When it rocked we carried on.

E                 D      F#m  E
And we marched on toward Algiers.

                   D   F#m  E
For we're marching for Algiers

E                    D      F#m  E
We're still marching toward Algiers.

                   D   F#m  E
Marching, marching for Algiers.

A      E      D      A
Not to hail a barren sky.

E       A        D       E
Sifting cloth is weeping red.

    A        E       D      A
the mourning veil is waving high

  E        A         D           E
A field of stars and tears we've shed.

A      E     D      A
In the sky a broken flag,

E        A        D           E
Children wave and raise their arms.

A        E        D          A      E
We'll be gone but they'll go on and on

    A      E      A
And on and on and on.
