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