Verses:
A E7 A
They were summoned from the hillside
Dm A
They were called in from the glen
E7 A
And the country found them ready,
E B7 E A E A E
At the stirring call for men
A E7 A
Let no tears add to their hardship
Dm A B7
As the soldiers pass along
C#m F#m
And although your heart is breaking
E G#m F#m B7 E F#m/E E6 E7
Make it sing this cheer--y sooooong
Chorus:
A A/E E7
Keep the homes fires burn-ing
F#m C#7aug C#7
While your hears are yearn---ing
D A
Though your lads are far a-way
B7 E7
They dream of home
A A/E E7
There's a silver lin-ing
F#m C#7aug C#7
Through the dark cloud shin---ing
D A
Turn the dark in-side out
Dm6 A/E E7 A
'Till the boys come home
Verse 2 lyrics:
Over seas there came a pleading,
"Help a Nation in distress!"
And we gave our glorious laddies,
Honor made us do no less.
For no gallant Son of Freedom
To a tyrant's yoke should bend,
And a noble heart must answer
To the sacred call of "Friend!"
Thought this song would be a fitting tribute to GB after such a fantastic Olympics! Roll on Rio!
