NOTES - this is simple and moving song.. plenty of room for soloing on first chord sequence and on the finale..
Franks soloing on this is pretty epic.. and worthy of copying .. or just jam your heart out..
the lyrics are moving and reflect a reality which rarely comes into focus in music..
Note also that the words on the chorus are slightly different every time.
and that there is a finale section makes a real statement and is where you can
rock out solo wise..

Here are the lyrics:
C9 C9/B
The time has come
C9/Bb Dm/A
Said a young man to his bride
C9 C9/B Dm/A
The train waits outside
C9 C9/B
And though I leave
C9/Bb Dm/A
You know I'll keep you by my side
C9 C9/B Dm
She holds on a final time
(chorus)
F C Dm
Soldier's gone to war
F C Dm
Told her he's comin' home
F C Dm
Soldier's gone to war
F C Dm
He's gonna be a hero in his hometown, lord
Bb2 sus
C9 C9/B
She stands alone
C9/Bb Dm/A
On a platform lookin' sad
C9 C9/B Dm/A
He waves through a pane of glass
C9 C9/B
And though she hopes
C9/Bb Dm/A
He will be comin' home at last
C9 C9/B Dm/A
Her heart knows what's gonna pass
(chorus x2)

C9 C9/B
The paper falls
C9/Bb Dm/A
to the floor from a trembling hand
C9 C9/B Dm/A
The words they burn to the soul
C9 C9/B
And though she cries,
C9/Bb Dm/A
she doesn't really understand
C9 C9/B Dm/A
The world's gone so cold
(chorus)
