[Verse 1]
[Em]There's a [C]hero's [D]tale
Of a [Em]ship that sails
Un[G]der [C]distant [D]stars
Somewhere [Em]far away
An[G]d she's b[C]ound for g[D]lory
On a [Em]foreign [Bm]shore
But [D]they're heroes,
[F]every boy[Am] who's sail[Gsus4]ed
[G]off to war[D]
Some[C]where far away,
[D]there's a soldier boy
who [Em]dreams a dream of war
[G]Where [C]a nightingale sin[D]gs a promise
to [Em]the ones who sleep alone
Spring [C]is in the air,
[D]with a scent of cherry blos
[Em]som in the g[D]len
[C]Whispering a [D]prayer, saying
bring our heroes
[Em]safely home again
So the [C]willows [D]weep and the [Em]candles burn
[D]For [G]there [C]is no [D]sleep
for the [Em]ones who yearn
As [Bm]I tel[C]l your sto[D]ry
with a [Em]thankful [G]heart
[Bm]You [D]are always i[F]n our [Am]thoughts,
though [G]we are [D]apart
Some[C]where far away,
[D]there's a soldier boy
[Em]who treats [D]everyone
[Em]Wear [C]a glittering vei[D]l,
sings a promise
to the [Em]ones who sleep alone
[C]Spring is in the air,
[D]with the scent of cherry
blos[Em]som in the a[D]ir.
[G]Whis[C]pering a [D]prayer, saying
bring our hero
[Em]safely home [Dm]again.[D][Em][Am]
[Dm][F][Dm][C][D][F#m][B]
Some[C]where far away,
[D]there's a soldier boy
who [Em]dreams a dream of home
[D]Where [C]a knight in gail sin[D]gs a promise
to the [Em]ones who keep an eye
And to [C]greet it in the air,
[D]with a scent of cherry
blos[Em]som in the air
Whis[A]pering a prayer, [C]saying
bring our hero
[Bm]safely home [A]again,[D]
home [C]again, [Em]home[Em] again.
