Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Nig[C]hts may be long,[Am]
skies [G]may be gray,
maybe [C]you're wor[G]ried and [C]blue.
Fear not, soldier[Am],
you've [G]the whole world to gain,
For [D]someday your dreams will come [G]true
Your [C]mother is [F]praying for [C]you, son
Though she's [G]hiding each
tear with a [C]smile
Asking the Savior to guide you
To [D]watch over you all the [G]while
[C]Fight and be [F]brave for the [C]morrow,
We'll drive the dark clouds far [F]away,
And remember each [F#dim]night,
say [F]a praye[C]r, son,
For the one who is praying [G]for [C]you.
Yes, Olya, you can af[F]ford to be brave
[C]Lift high the banner,
and [G]long may she wave
[C]Think of that old sweetheart,
so [F]brave and so true
And then [C]think of your old mother,
who's [G]praying for you
[C]She thinks you're tops,
cause [F]you went over there to fight
For [C]Canada and England
and [G]all things that's right
So [C]you've no need to worry, son,
how she [F]is at home
Cause [C]she's too busy filling stamp books
and [G]paying for [C]bars
Just keep up the courage, soldier,
cause [F]one of these days
You'll set the [C]whole wide world free,
and then [G]back o 'er the waves.
You'll come [C]sailing a hero
to the [F]one that loves you,
To that lov[C]ing old mother
who's been [G]praying for [C]you.
Your mother is praying [F]for [C]you, son,
Though she's [G]hiding each
tear with a [C]smile.
Asking the Savior to guide you,
to [D]watch over you all the [G]while.
[C]Fight and be [F]brave for to[C]morrow,
we'll drive the dark clouds far [F]away.
And remember each night,
[F#dim]say a prayer,[F] son,[C]
For the one who is praying [G]for [C]you.
