Intro With A augmentedA

B minorBm          G+G
A augmentedA daughter born the day they walked the Moon
D MajorD               A augmentedA
Somewhere on the Edge of the Age of Aquarius
B minorBm        G+G         D MajorD        A augmentedA
In the year her mother - would have otherwise - forgotten

B minorBm          G+G
July Was very hot in North Carolina
D MajorD               A augmentedA
So she left For Buffalo on a bus in the rain
      B minorBm             G+G
With the steam off the asphalt still wet in her hair
     D MajorD            A augmentedA     B minorBm    G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
And the pain of her soldier gone ... just sailed away

B minorBm               G+G
Before he'as a soldier, He was just his Mother's boy
D MajorD              A augmentedA
And that's exaclty How She planned to keep him
B minorBm         G+G          D MajorD     A augmentedA
His Father died so long ago and he was all - she had
      B minorBm          G+G
Still she shared His Love With a very young wife
    D MajorD     A augmentedA   B minorBm           G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
And before the War  ...  things weren't so bad

CHORUS:

B minorBm           G+G
   But every Generation makes the same mistakes
    D MajorD              A augmentedA
   Still we send our sons away to do the same
   B minorBm            G+G
   The mothers cry and the daughters die inside
       D MajorD           A augmentedA  B minorBm  G+G D-A B minorBm G+G D-A
   And the sons like the fathers - march

B minorBm               G+G
Whose hair was longer? I think his, she might say
D MajorD           A augmentedA
But in the Army they cut it all away
B minorBm         G+G        D MajorD  A augmentedA
Too Much Room For Wild Thoughts to grow
B minorBm             G+G
And in the spring of his child's first year
   D MajorD            A augmentedA
The father, hey the son, the husband
    B minorBm            G+G
Under beautiful sky, youth like fire in His eyes
D MajorD           A augmentedA
He gave His Life For Nothin'
   B minorBm           G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
No, nothin' at all, they say

B minorBm           G+G
So Many Years and the pain it still remains
D MajorD            A augmentedA
And now her daughter's man will sail away
B minorBm            G+G
Politics and promises forever the Same
  D MajorD           A augmentedA       B minorBm      G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
We take away and sacrifice ... What we cannot replace

FINAL CHORUS:

B minorBm           G+G
   But every Generation makes the same mistakes
    D MajorD              A augmentedA
   Still we send our sons away to do the same
   B minorBm            G+G
   The mothers cry and the daughters die inside
       D MajorD          A augmentedA     B minorBm          A augmentedA
   And the sons like the fathers - now the sons and the daugters -
   B minorBm  G+G D-A B minorBm G+G D-A
   March

B minorBm           G+G          D MajorD  A augmentedA
Buffalo in the winter, bitter as it is, is home
   B minorBm          G+G       D MajorD A augmentedA - B minorBm G+G D MajorD A augmentedA D/F
For three generations of widowed brides
