A# F A#
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight,"
F F7 A#
except here and there a stray picket,
F A#
is shot as he walks on his beat to and fro,
F D# F7 F
by a rifleman hid in the thicket
F7 F A# F
'Tis nothing a private or two now and then,
D# A# F
will not count in the news of the battle
D# F A# D#
Not an officer lost, only one of the men,
A# F F7 A#
moaning out all alone the death rattle.
Gm F F7 F A#
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight!"
A# F A#
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight,"
F F7 A#
where the soldiers lie peacefully dreaming
F A#
And their tents in the rays of the clear autumn moon,
F D# F7 F
and the light of the camp fires are gleaming
F7 F A# F
There's only the sound of the lone sentry's tread,
D# A# F
as he tramps from the rock to the fountain
D# F A# D#
And thinks of the two on the low trundle bed,
A# F F7 A#
far away in the cot on the mountain.
Gm F F7 F A#
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight!"
A# F A#
His musket falls slack his face, dark and grim,
F F7 A#
grows gentle with memories tender
F A#
As he mutters a pray'r for the children asleep,
F D# F7 F
and their mother, "May heaven defend her!"
F7 F A# F
The moon seems to shine as brightly as then,
D# A# F
that night, when the love yet unspoken.
D# F A# D#
Leap'd up to his lips, and when low murmur'd vows,
A# F F7 A#
were pledg'd, to be ever un broken.
Gm F F7 F A#
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight!"
A# F A#
Then drawing his sleeve roughly o'er his eyes,
F F7 A#
he dashes off the tears that are welling
F A#
And gathers his gun close up to his breast,
F D# F7 F
as if to keep down the heart's swelling
F7 F A# F
He passes the fountain, the blasted pine tree,
D# A# F
and his footstep is lagging and weary
D# F A# D#
Yet onward he goes, thro' the broad belt of light,
A# F F7 A#
toward the shades of the forest so dreary.
Gm F F7 F A#
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight!"
A# F A#
Hark! was it the night-wind that rustles the leaves,
F F7 A#
was it the moonlight so wond'rously flashing?
F A#
It look'd like a rifle! "Ha, Mary, good-bye!",
F D# F7 F
and his life-blood is ebbing and plashing.
F7 F A# F
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight,"
D# A# F
no sound save the rush of the river
D# F A# D#
While soft falls the dew on the face of the dead,
A# F F7 A#
the picket's off duty forev er.
Gm F F7 F A#
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight!"
Gm F F7 F A#
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight!"
