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