They Flaid beneath the C/Epine trees with their Bb/Dcaps over their Feyes
They were Bbdrunk with home and Fmama as they Gbrushed away the Cflies
In an Finstant before the sC/Eunrise they had gunBbned the rebels dowFn
As their Bbflags were torn at Fhalf mast in the Cruins of the Ftown
There were Fwhite sails on the C/Ewater for the Bb/Dcrippled on the Fbeach
There was a Bblack of ammuFnition so the Gcause was Cincomplete
When the Fbugle blew at C/Ebreakfast and they kBbnew their ships were iFn
BbSigns of grand Fassurance werCe carried on the wiFnd
Take it Fhome,C/E take it Dmlow, F/Ctake responsiBbbiliFties
GmCame the message from the fCronBbt C
For the Fcaptains,C/E captains DmquartersF/C Bbmust reC/Atreat
Pack the Gm7compass, pack the Ctents, take the BbbunksF
They just Fchalked it down in hC/Eistory but they Bbkept their unF/Ciforms
They put their Bbmedals on the Fsideboards and they Gwent back to their Cfarms
For it was Fjust a mere reC/Eminder that they Bbstood beside the Fbest
That BbGod had saved the Fchosen few and the Cdevil took the restF
Take it Fhome,C/E take it Dmlow, F/Ctake responsiBbbiliFties
GmCame the message from the frontC Bb C
For the Fcaptains,C/E captains DmquartersF/C Bbmust reC/Atreat
Pack the Gm7compass, pack the Ctents, take the BbbunksF
On the Fplanes above the C/Erock face where the Bb/Dsculptured eagles Fswoop
There's a Bbhaunted yell for aFction among the Gspectres of his Ctroops
It was Fsilent on the C/Ecoastline as the Bbcrazy angels Fdanced
With the Bbsound of retreating fFootfall from his Cmilitary campF
Take it Fhome,C/E take it Dmlow, F/Ctake responsiBbbiliFties
