[Verse]
F#m A
Where have all the young men gone?
E F#m
They're leaving town, one by one
A
Johnny, come and get your gun
E F#m
Father give your only son
A
Fearlessly they lay down they're lives
E F#m
Son, don't be afraid to die
A
You're fighting for the land that you love
E F#m
Fighting for your God up above
[Chorus]
D E F#m
When the bullets fall around you like rain
D E F#m
And the starry night has burst into flames
D E A Em F#m
Remember you're the few, you're the brave
D E F#m
Remember what your fighting to save
A E F#m D
I know you'll be coming home soon
A E F#m D
The war is over, it was on the evening news
A E F#m E
Nobody's winning when it's life we have to lose
D A E F#m
I know you'll be coming home soon, coming home soon
[Verse]
F#m A
Victory can be bittersweet
E F#m
Insurrection in the street
A
It never comes without a price
E F#m
And never without sacrifice
A
Suicidal bombs in their cars
E F#m
Wrap them up in stripes and stars
A
Johnny boy is coming home
E F#m
For a soldier's burial
[Chorus]
D E F#m
When the bullets fall around you like rain
D E F#m
And the starry night has burst into flames
D E A Em F#m
Remember you're the few, you're the brave
D E F#m
Remember what your fighting to save
A E F#m D
I know you'll be coming home soon
A E F#m D
The war is over, it was on the evening news
A E F#m E
Nobody's winning when it's life we have to lose
D A E F#m
I know you'll be coming home soon, coming home soon
