[Verse]
A D
Its hard to keep tears out of my eyes
A E
This might be our last goodbye
A D
Our country calls you to defend a great land
A E A
So do your part just like a man
A D
Down where the river bends
A E
With god's help we'll meet again
A D
Under the same old sycamore tree
A E A
Proud of each other and the land of the free
A D
I go down to the ocean blue
A E
Its just as close as I came to you
A D
This old ocean might keep us apart
A E A
But it won't keep you dear out of my heart
A D
If the worst should happen and the poppies should wave
A E
Over your far distant, lonely grave
A D
All the rest of my life I'll spend in prayer
A E A
I'll meet you in heaven, there'll be no war there
