B F# B
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight,"
F# F#7 B
except here and there a stray picket,
F# B
is shot as he walks on his beat to and fro,
F# E F#7 F#
by a rifleman hid in the thicket
F#7 F# B F#
'Tis nothing a private or two now and then,
E B F#
will not count in the news of the battle
E F# B E
Not an officer lost, only one of the men,
B F# F#7 B
moaning out all alone the death rattle.
G#m F# F#7 F# B
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight!"
B F# B
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight,"
F# F#7 B
where the soldiers lie peacefully dreaming
F# B
And their tents in the rays of the clear autumn moon,
F# E F#7 F#
and the light of the camp fires are gleaming
F#7 F# B F#
There's only the sound of the lone sentry's tread,
E B F#
as he tramps from the rock to the fountain
E F# B E
And thinks of the two on the low trundle bed,
B F# F#7 B
far away in the cot on the mountain.
G#m F# F#7 F# B
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight!"
B F# B
His musket falls slack his face, dark and grim,
F# F#7 B
grows gentle with memories tender
F# B
As he mutters a pray'r for the children asleep,
F# E F#7 F#
and their mother, "May heaven defend her!"
F#7 F# B F#
The moon seems to shine as brightly as then,
E B F#
that night, when the love yet unspoken.
E F# B E
Leap'd up to his lips, and when low murmur'd vows,
B F# F#7 B
were pledg'd, to be ever un broken.
G#m F# F#7 F# B
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight!"
B F# B
Then drawing his sleeve roughly o'er his eyes,
F# F#7 B
he dashes off the tears that are welling
F# B
And gathers his gun close up to his breast,
F# E F#7 F#
as if to keep down the heart's swelling
F#7 F# B F#
He passes the fountain, the blasted pine tree,
E B F#
and his footstep is lagging and weary
E F# B E
Yet onward he goes, thro' the broad belt of light,
B F# F#7 B
toward the shades of the forest so dreary.
G#m F# F#7 F# B
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight!"
B F# B
Hark! was it the night-wind that rustles the leaves,
F# F#7 B
was it the moonlight so wond'rously flashing?
F# B
It look'd like a rifle! "Ha, Mary, good-bye!",
F# E F#7 F#
and his life-blood is ebbing and plashing.
F#7 F# B F#
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight,"
E B F#
no sound save the rush of the river
E F# B E
While soft falls the dew on the face of the dead,
B F# F#7 B
the picket's off duty forev er.
G#m F# F#7 F# B
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight!"
G#m F# F#7 F# B
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight!"
