[Verse 1]
Oh, [Am]she [D]knows
She takes his [G]hand
And [Em]prays the child will understand
[Am]At the door,
they [D]watch the men go [G]by
[Em]In the clothes that daddy wore
[F]Mother's pride
[F#dim]Baby boy[D][F#dim]
[D]His fat[G]her's eyes
He's [Em]a soldier waiting for [F]war
Time [F#dim]will come[D]
He'll hold a gun

[Verse 2]
And as he [D]grows
He hears [G]the band
[Em]Takes the step from boy to man
[Am]At the shore,
she [D]waves her son [G]goodbye
[Em]Like the man she did before
[F]Mother's pride
[F#dim]Just a bo[D]y[F#dim][D]
His coun[G]try's eyes
He's [Em]a soldier waving at [F]the shore
And in [D]her heart, the time has come

[Verse 3]
all the sons,
[D]all the lovers gone
They make [G]no difference
[Em]No difference in the e[Am]nd
Still hear the [D]woman say
your daddy died [G]a hero
[Em]In the name of God and m[F]an
Mother's pride
[F#dim]Crazy boy[D][F#dim][D]
His [G]lifeless eyes
He's [Em]a soldier now forever
[F]mor[F#dim]e[D]
He'll hold a gun 'til kingdom come
