Cadd9        Bm
The time has come
Bb                   D5
Said a young man to his bride
Cadd9     Bm        Bbsus2
The train waits outside

Cadd9        Bm
And though I leave, you know I’ll
Bb             D5
keep you by my side
Cadd9     Bm         Bbsus2
She holds on a final time

[Chorus]

Soldier's gone to war
F    C               Bb
Told her he's comin'-home
F  C              Dm
Soldier's gone to war
F                        C                     Bb

She stands alone, on a
Bb               D5
platform lookin' sad
Cadd9    Bm                Bbsus2
He waves through a pane of glass

Cadd9          Bm
And though she hopes, he wll be
Bb             D5
comin' home at last
Cadd9     Bm                 Bbsus2
Her heart knows what's gonna pass

[Chorus]

Soldier has gone to war

The paper falls, to the
Bb                     D5
floor from a trembling hand
Cadd9          Bm          Bbsus2
The words they-burn to the soul

And though she cries, She doesn’t

really understand
Cadd9       Bm      Bbsus2
The world's gone so cold
