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