Cm      Ab                Eb
A young lady leaves her mother

               Bb
With no one to love her

Ab                        Eb
To protect her from the world

Cm       Ab              Eb
And I have seen the monsters

            Bb
That will haunt her

    Ab                    Eb
That will tear her all apart

Cm             Bb        Eb         Ab
And at her gravestone we will remember

Cm                 Bb        Eb           Ab
Just where we were when you knew she would go

Cm                 Bb        Eb            Ab
And I still remember that day that we left her

Cm                  Bb          Ab          Abm
That’s when she said that she knows how it goes
And we sang:
Ab             Cm
"Your day will come

Ab           Cm
Your day will come

Ab           Cm   G
Your day will come"

Ab                 Cm     G
And no matter what they say

Ab              Cm               F
It won't matter if you pray or if you sin

 Ab                      Cm
'Cause in the end it’s all the same

Cm      Ab            Eb
A young man becomes a soldier

                Bb           Ab               Eb   Cm
He’s isn’t much older than a boy and that’s a shame

          Ab                Eb
They will lead him into battle

         Bb             Ab           Eb  Cm
Hand him medals when he comes home rearranged 

           Bb    Eb
And at the say-so

                 Ab
Of a man with a halo

Cm        Bb          Eb          Ab
He will obey; he will fall into place

Cm            Bb    Eb             Ab
Remembered by ribbons but never forgiven

Cm                 Bb          Ab
He'll shoulder the bulk of the blame

     Abm
What a shame
And we’ll sing
Ab              Cm
"Your day will come

Ab             Cm
Your day will come

Ab            Cm   G
Your day will come"

  Ab                 Cm     G
And no matter what they say

  Ab              Cm               F
It won't matter if you pray or if you sin

              Ab               Cm
'Cause in the end it’s all the same

Cm    Ab           Eb
If I only had a dollar

             Bb         Ab              Eb  Cm
For every horror that befalls my fellow man

          Ab           Eb
I'd never work another hour

             Bb            Ab              Eb   Cm
But I'd grow sour from the guilt and bitterness 

                Bb       Eb             Ab     Cm
The luck of the draw will determine the fallen

             Bb          Eb           Ab Cm
And everyone else will relax and move on

                  Bb   Eb                       Ab          Cm
But what will you do when they come looking for you friend?

                   Bb               Ab
I hope that you’re brave and you're strong

          Abm
Through it all

Ab           Cm
"Your day will come

Ab            Cm
Your day will come

Ab             Cm   G
Your day will come"

  Ab                 Cm     G
And no matter what they say

    Ab              Cm               F
It won't matter if you pray or if you sin

  Ab                      Cm
'Cause in the end it’s all the same
