Am E C G Dm C E Am Am Am
[Verse]
Am E C G
Tears by the firelight, he won't be home tonight
Dm C G
The Royal order reached him now to fight for the land
Am E C G
Eyes at the window-pane, staring through pouring rain
Dm C G Am
All the room is cold and grey, the fire burns bright
C G Am
Every night there is no one beside
F C Dm E
She's counting the hours, the memories burn
Am C G Am
Day after day all her thoughts slip away
G F
She waits for the one to return
Am E C G
Almost a year has gone, the battles are raging on
Dm C G
She has got no sign of life, no news at all
Am E C G
She wants to know his stand far in the foreign land
Dm C G Am
For King and Country he has left, the King's sleeping tight
C G Am
Every night there is no one beside
F C Dm E
She's counting the hours, the memories burn
Am C G Am
Day after day all her thoughts slip away
G F
She waits for the one to return
Am E C G
Tears by the firelight, he won't be home tonight
Dm C G
Sparks of hope begin to glow, the end of the war
Am E C G
Church-bells proclaim the peace, they welcome the returnees
Dm C G Am
"The victory is ours!" but she thinks, "What's mine?"
C G Am
Every night there is no one beside
F C Dm E
She's counting the hours, the memories burn
Am C G Am
Day after day all her thoughts slip away
G F
She waits for the one to return
Am C G Am
Tears by the light, the fire burns down
F C G
Words black as grave's ground, seals red as blood
Am C G Am
By the light, life's found an end
G F
The parchment is still in her hand
Am E C G Dm C E Am Am Am
