There Wont Be Many Coming Home

by Roy Orbison

Biography:

Roy Kelton Orbison (April 23, 1936 – December 6, 1988), nicknamed "The Big O", was an influential American singer-songwriter and a pioneer of rock and roll, whose recording career spanned more than four decades. By the mid-1960s Orbison was internationally recognized for his ballads of lost love, rhythmically advanced melodies, three-octave vocal range, characteristic dark sunglasses, and sometimes distinctive usage of falsetto, typified in songs such as "Only the Lonely, "Oh, Pretty Woman", and "Crying".

There Won't Be Many Coming Home

C F G
Listen all you people, try and understand
C F G
You may be a soldier, woman, child or man

Chorus:
C F
But there won't be many coming home
C F
No, there won't be many coming home
C C7 F D
Oh, there won't be many, maybe ten out of twenty,
C G C
But there won't be many coming home.

C F
Now the old folks will remember on that dark and dismal day,
C G
How their hearts were choked with pride as their children marched away
C F G
Now the glory is all gone, they are left alone

Chorus +
Oh, there won't be many, maybe five out of twenty
But there won't be many coming home
Look real closely at the soldier coming at you through the haze
He may be the younger brother who ran away
And before you kill another, listen to what I say

Chorus +:
C C7 F D
If they all came back but one he was still some mother's son,
C G C
And there won't be many coming home
