Verse
D A/C# G/B D
They laid beneath the pine trees with their caps over their eyes
G D E A
They were drunk with home and mama as they brushed away the flies
D A/C# G D
In an instant before the sunrise they had gunned the rebels down
G D A D
As their flags were torn at half mast in the ruins of the town
[Verse 2]
D A/C# G/B D
There were white sails on the water for the crippled on the beach
G D E A
There was a lack of ammunition so the cause was incomplete
D A/C# G D
When the bugle blew at breakfast and they knew their ships were in
G D A D
Signs of grand assurance were carried on the wind
[Chorus]
D A/C# Bm D/A G D
Take it home, take it low, take responsibilities
Em A G A
Came the message from the front
D A/C# Bm D/A G F#7
For the captains, captains quarters must retreat
Em7 A G D
Pack the compass, pack the tents, take the bunks
[Verse 3]
D A/C# G D/A
They just chalked it down in history but they kept their uniforms
G D E A
They put their medals on the sideboards and they went back to their farms
D A/C# G D
For it was just a mere reminder that they stood beside the best
G D A D
That God had saved the chosen few and the devil took the rest
[Chorus]
D A/C# Bm D/A G D
Take it home, take it low, take responsibilities
Em A G A
Came the message from the front
D A/C# Bm D/A G F#7
For the captains, captains quarters must retreat
Em7 A G D
Pack the compass, pack the tents, take the bunks
[Verse 4]
D A/C# G/B D
On the planes above the rock face where the sculptured eagles swoop
G D E A
There's a haunted yell for action among the spectres of his troops
D A/C# G D
It was silent on the coastline as the crazy angels danced
G D A D
With the sound of retreating footfall from his military camp
[Chorus]
D A/C# Bm D/A G D
Take it home, take it low, take responsibilities
Em A G A
Came the message from the front
D A/C# Bm D/A G F#7
For the captains, captains quarters must retreat
Em7 A G D
Pack the compass, pack the tents, take the bunks
