G D G
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight,"
D D7 G
except here and there a stray picket,
D G
is shot as he walks on his beat to and fro,
D C D7 D
by a rifleman hid in the thicket
D7 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 D7 G
moaning out all alone the death rattle.
Em D D7 D G
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight!"
G D G
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight,"
D D7 G
where the soldiers lie peacefully dreaming
D G
And their tents in the rays of the clear autumn moon,
D C D7 D
and the light of the camp fires are gleaming
D7 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 D7 G
far away in the cot on the mountain.
Em D D7 D G
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight!"
G D G
His musket falls slack his face, dark and grim,
D D7 G
grows gentle with memories tender
D G
As he mutters a pray'r for the children asleep,
D C D7 D
and their mother, "May heaven defend her!"
D7 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 D7 G
were pledg'd, to be ever un broken.
Em D D7 D G
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight!"
G D G
Then drawing his sleeve roughly o'er his eyes,
D D7 G
he dashes off the tears that are welling
D G
And gathers his gun close up to his breast,
D C D7 D
as if to keep down the heart's swelling
D7 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 D7 G
toward the shades of the forest so dreary.
Em D D7 D G
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight!"
G D G
Hark! was it the night-wind that rustles the leaves,
D D7 G
was it the moonlight so wond'rously flashing?
D G
It look'd like a rifle! "Ha, Mary, good-bye!",
D C D7 D
and his life-blood is ebbing and plashing.
D7 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 D7 G
the picket's off duty forev er.
Em D D7 D G
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight!"
Em D D7 D G
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight!"
