D A D
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight,"
A A7 D
except here and there a stray picket,
A D
is shot as he walks on his beat to and fro,
A G A7 A
by a rifleman hid in the thicket
A7 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 A7 D
moaning out all alone the death rattle.
Bm A A7 A D
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight!"
D A D
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight,"
A A7 D
where the soldiers lie peacefully dreaming
A D
And their tents in the rays of the clear autumn moon,
A G A7 A
and the light of the camp fires are gleaming
A7 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 A7 D
far away in the cot on the mountain.
Bm A A7 A D
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight!"
D A D
His musket falls slack his face, dark and grim,
A A7 D
grows gentle with memories tender
A D
As he mutters a pray'r for the children asleep,
A G A7 A
and their mother, "May heaven defend her!"
A7 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 A7 D
were pledg'd, to be ever un broken.
Bm A A7 A D
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight!"
D A D
Then drawing his sleeve roughly o'er his eyes,
A A7 D
he dashes off the tears that are welling
A D
And gathers his gun close up to his breast,
A G A7 A
as if to keep down the heart's swelling
A7 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 A7 D
toward the shades of the forest so dreary.
Bm A A7 A D
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight!"
D A D
Hark! was it the night-wind that rustles the leaves,
A A7 D
was it the moonlight so wond'rously flashing?
A D
It look'd like a rifle! "Ha, Mary, good-bye!",
A G A7 A
and his life-blood is ebbing and plashing.
A7 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 A7 D
the picket's off duty forev er.
Bm A A7 A D
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight!"
Bm A A7 A D
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight!"
