Am                          Em                                  G
       She's sitting in the kitchen when she hears the doorbell ring.

                     D
She sees two men she hoped she’s never see.

Am                      Em                           G
      She has to take a seat when they tell her everything

She’s breaking as she thinks: what could have been

Now she’s at home and crying for him

Em             D
No one else is dyin’ for him

One wrong move was all it took to 

Em          D
Take his life away

~

             C
He's stopped marching 

             Am
He’s stopped fighting 

        Em
And the sun appeared again 

          C               Am              Em
He had to stop but it was worth it in the end

                C               Am
Though he’s not home to see his family happy

Em
Laughing and alive 

            C 
He wouldn't change a thing 

      Am              Em
Cause he helped them survive

       C
In the dark

       Am
In the light

       Em
In the war that he had fought in 

          C
Until the end 

             Am
He shined so bright 

        Em
And now everything is done 
 
         C            Am
Now he's lying in the sand

        Em
And the beat of the old drum band

          C           Am                  Em
Plays out melodies of those that want him home

~

         C            Am

Plays out melodies of those that want him home
