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