A augmentedA D MajorD
Its hard to keep tears out of my eyes
A augmentedA E MajorE
This might be our last goodbye
A augmentedA D MajorD
Our country calls you to defend a great land
A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
So do your part just like a man
A augmentedA D MajorD
Down where the river bends
A augmentedA E MajorE
With god's help we'll meet again
A augmentedA D MajorD
Under the same old sycamore tree
A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
Proud of each other and the land of the free
Banjo
I go down to the ocean blue
Its just as close as I came to you
This old ocean might keep us apart
But it won't keep you dear out of my heart
If the worst should happen and the poppies should wave
Over your far distant, lonely grave
All the rest of my life I'll spend in prayer
