Til they came home Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Tim[G]es [D]wer[G]e hard
[D]
but they were fun
[G]In 1941
The year that Jim
and Catherine fell [D]in love
They were graduating college
Their heads were [Dsus4]full of knowledge
[D]And vis[G]ions of taking on
[D]the [Em]world
But Uncle Sam and those
[A]Pearl Harbor bombs
[Em]Pulled Jim away [G]from[A]
Catherine's arms
[D]Then along came Vietnam
[G]In 1961
The year that Bob and Mandy
said "I [D]do"
They bought a house
outside the city
Everything was sitting pretty
[G]But again old Uncle Sam said
"I need [D]you"[Em]
Bob said "Mandy,
honey [A]I'll be [Em]back
Don't [Dsus4]you worry, [D]you can [A]count on that"

[Verse 2]
And as the [D]headlines rolled
Every [Em]mother [G]prayed[Em]
Every [D]father laid [G]awake
The whole night [A]through
Every [D]brother bragged
Every [Em]sister [G]cried
[Em]Every home[D]town across this land held on[G]
Til [A]they came [D]home
[G][D]

[Verse 3]
[G]
Times were [D]hard but they were [G]fun
In 1991
The year that John and Sally
said good[D]bye
He held two kids in his arms
As she left for Desert Storm
[G]John could see the sadness in [D]her eyes
[Em]He watched her sail away navy [A]blue
[Em]Up on the quar[D]ter deck[A] in full salute

[Verse 4]
And as the [D]headlines rolled
Every [Em]mother prayed
Every [D]father laid awake
[G]The whole night thr[A]ough
Every [D]brother bragged
Every [Em]sister cried
Every [D]hometown across this land held [G]on
Til [A]they came [D]home

[Verse 5]
[Bm]Some came home as he[D]ro[G]es[Bm]
Proud [D]to be [G]back[Bm]
Some came home [D]as [G]her[Em]oes
Covered with the [A]flag

[Verse 6]
And as the [D]headlines rolled
Every [Em]mother prayed
Every [D]father laid awake
[G]The whole night thr[A]ough
Every [D]brother bragged
Every [Em]sister [G]cried[Em]
Every [D]hometown across this land held [G]on
Til [A]they came [D]home

[Verse 7]
Every [D]hometown across this land hold[G]s on
Til [A]they come [D]home
[G][D]
