The
G C
songs of the wars are as old as the hills,
G A7 D
They cling like the rust on the cold steel that kills.
G G7 C
They tell of the boys who went down to the tracks
D C G
in a patriotic manner with the cold steel on their backs.

C
The patriot's dream is as old as the sky,
G A7 D
It lives in the lust of a cold callous lie.
G G7 C
Let's drink to the men who got caught by the chill
D C G
of the patriotic fever and the cold steel that kills.

|G |C |G |A7 D |

|G |G7 C |D |C G |

G C
The train pulled away on that glorious night,
G A7 D
the drummer got drunk and the bugler got tight.
G G7 C
Well, the boys in the back sang a song of good cheer
D C G
while riding off to glory in the spring of their years.

G C
The patriot's dream still lives on today,
G A7 D
It makes mothers weep and it makes lovers pray.
G G7 C
Let's drink to the men who got caught by the chill
D C G
of the patriotic fever and the cold steel that kills.

Her children were all sleeping as she waited out the dawn,

how could she tell those children their father was shot down.
G D/F# Em G D/F# Em
She took them to her side that day and she told them one by one,

when she heard the name of someone who said he'd be home soon.
G D/F# Em G D/F# Em
She wondered how they got him, but the papers did not tell,
G D/F# Em G D/F# Em
there would be no sweet reunion, there would be no wedding bells.

she cried in to the silken folds of her new wedding gow--------.
