Standard (EADGBE)

'm a soldier on the field

 Fighting for you, fighting for me

You can see it on our faces

 Like the bullets leave traces

 You can feel it for real

You can't imagine the pain of my baby so far away

 So far from my home...

 When they comin' home?

 When they leavin' that place?

 To see their lovers face again

Kid will see his daddy's face again

 When they comin' home?

 Oh shed some grace!

 To see their lovers face again

Kid will see his daddy's face again

I'm a soldier on the field

 Waiting to die, praying to live

To survive one more day

 But my hope begins to fray

 It's my flesh against the steel

You'll never know what I've known

 You'll never see what I've seen

 I hope we make it home...

 When they comin' home?

 When they leavin' that place?

 To see their lovers face again

Kid will see his daddy's face again

 When they comin' home?

 Oh shed some grace!

 Put your peace in the valley tonight

Bring the soldier home alright

 When they coming' home?

 Oh, when they leavin' that place?

 To see their lovers face again

Kid will see his daddy's face again

So far from home

 She cries, politics aside

 What I'd give to have him here tonight

 When they comin' home?

 When they leavin' that place?

 To see their lovers face again

Kid will see his daddy's face again

 When they comin' home?

 Oh shed some grace!

 Put your peace in the valley tonight

Bring the soldier home alright

 When they coming' home?

 Oh, when they leavin' that place?

 To see their lovers face again

Kid will see his daddy's face again
