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