Verse
C G/B F/A C
They laid beneath the pine trees with their caps over their eyes
F C D G
They were drunk with home and mama as they brushed away the flies
C G/B F C
In an instant before the sunrise they had gunned the rebels down
F C G C
As their flags were torn at half mast in the ruins of the town
[Verse 2]
C G/B F/A C
There were white sails on the water for the crippled on the beach
F C D G
There was a lack of ammunition so the cause was incomplete
C G/B F C
When the bugle blew at breakfast and they knew their ships were in
F C G C
Signs of grand assurance were carried on the wind
[Chorus]
C G/B Am C/G F C
Take it home, take it low, take responsibilities
Dm G F G
Came the message from the front
C G/B Am C/G F E7
For the captains, captains quarters must retreat
Dm7 G F C
Pack the compass, pack the tents, take the bunks
[Verse 3]
C G/B F C/G
They just chalked it down in history but they kept their uniforms
F C D G
They put their medals on the sideboards and they went back to their farms
C G/B F C
For it was just a mere reminder that they stood beside the best
F C G C
That God had saved the chosen few and the devil took the rest
[Chorus]
C G/B Am C/G F C
Take it home, take it low, take responsibilities
Dm G F G
Came the message from the front
C G/B Am C/G F E7
For the captains, captains quarters must retreat

Pack the compass, pack the tents, take the bunks
[Verse 4]
C G/B F/A C
On the planes above the rock face where the sculptured eagles swoop
F C D G
There's a haunted yell for action among the spectres of his troops
C G/B F C
It was silent on the coastline as the crazy angels danced
F C G C
With the sound of retreating footfall from his military camp
[Chorus]
C G/B Am C/G F C
Take it home, take it low, take responsibilities
Dm G F G
Came the message from the front
C G/B Am C/G F E7
For the captains, captains quarters must retreat
Dm7 G F C
Pack the compass, pack the tents, take the bunks
