F C F
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight,"
C C7 F
except here and there a stray picket,
C F
is shot as he walks on his beat to and fro,
C A# C7 C
by a rifleman hid in the thicket
C7 C F C
'Tis nothing a private or two now and then,
A# F C
will not count in the news of the battle
A# C F A#
Not an officer lost, only one of the men,
F C C7 F
moaning out all alone the death rattle.
Dm C C7 C F
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight!"
F C F
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight,"
C C7 F
where the soldiers lie peacefully dreaming
C F
And their tents in the rays of the clear autumn moon,
C A# C7 C
and the light of the camp fires are gleaming
C7 C F C
There's only the sound of the lone sentry's tread,
A# F C
as he tramps from the rock to the fountain
A# C F A#
And thinks of the two on the low trundle bed,
F C C7 F
far away in the cot on the mountain.
Dm C C7 C F
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight!"
F C F
His musket falls slack his face, dark and grim,
C C7 F
grows gentle with memories tender
C F
As he mutters a pray'r for the children asleep,
C A# C7 C
and their mother, "May heaven defend her!"
C7 C F C
The moon seems to shine as brightly as then,
A# F C
that night, when the love yet unspoken.
A# C F A#
Leap'd up to his lips, and when low murmur'd vows,
F C C7 F
were pledg'd, to be ever un broken.
Dm C C7 C F
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight!"
F C F
Then drawing his sleeve roughly o'er his eyes,
C C7 F
he dashes off the tears that are welling
C F
And gathers his gun close up to his breast,
C A# C7 C
as if to keep down the heart's swelling
C7 C F C
He passes the fountain, the blasted pine tree,
A# F C
and his footstep is lagging and weary
A# C F A#
Yet onward he goes, thro' the broad belt of light,
F C C7 F
toward the shades of the forest so dreary.
Dm C C7 C F
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight!"
F C F
Hark! was it the night-wind that rustles the leaves,
C C7 F
was it the moonlight so wond'rously flashing?
C F
It look'd like a rifle! "Ha, Mary, good-bye!",
C A# C7 C
and his life-blood is ebbing and plashing.
C7 C F C
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight,"
A# F C
no sound save the rush of the river
A# C F A#
While soft falls the dew on the face of the dead,
F C C7 F
the picket's off duty forev er.
Dm C C7 C F
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight!"
Dm C C7 C F
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight!"
