E B E
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight,"
B B7 E
except here and there a stray picket,
B E
is shot as he walks on his beat to and fro,
B A B7 B
by a rifleman hid in the thicket
B7 B E B
'Tis nothing a private or two now and then,
A E B
will not count in the news of the battle
A B E A
Not an officer lost, only one of the men,
E B B7 E
moaning out all alone the death rattle.
C#m B B7 B E
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight!"
E B E
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight,"
B B7 E
where the soldiers lie peacefully dreaming
B E
And their tents in the rays of the clear autumn moon,
B A B7 B
and the light of the camp fires are gleaming
B7 B E B
There's only the sound of the lone sentry's tread,
A E B
as he tramps from the rock to the fountain
A B E A
And thinks of the two on the low trundle bed,
E B B7 E
far away in the cot on the mountain.
C#m B B7 B E
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight!"
E B E
His musket falls slack his face, dark and grim,
B B7 E
grows gentle with memories tender
B E
As he mutters a pray'r for the children asleep,
B A B7 B
and their mother, "May heaven defend her!"
B7 B E B
The moon seems to shine as brightly as then,
A E B
that night, when the love yet unspoken.
A B E A
Leap'd up to his lips, and when low murmur'd vows,
E B B7 E
were pledg'd, to be ever un broken.
C#m B B7 B E
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight!"
E B E
Then drawing his sleeve roughly o'er his eyes,
B B7 E
he dashes off the tears that are welling
B E
And gathers his gun close up to his breast,
B A B7 B
as if to keep down the heart's swelling
B7 B E B
He passes the fountain, the blasted pine tree,
A E B
and his footstep is lagging and weary
A B E A
Yet onward he goes, thro' the broad belt of light,
E B B7 E
toward the shades of the forest so dreary.
C#m B B7 B E
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight!"
E B E
Hark! was it the night-wind that rustles the leaves,
B B7 E
was it the moonlight so wond'rously flashing?
B E
It look'd like a rifle! "Ha, Mary, good-bye!",
B A B7 B
and his life-blood is ebbing and plashing.
B7 B E B
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight,"
A E B
no sound save the rush of the river
A B E A
While soft falls the dew on the face of the dead,
E B B7 E
the picket's off duty forev er.
C#m B B7 B E
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight!"
C#m B B7 B E
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight!"
