      Am          C                   Em
Last night I was walking through the harbour,
           Dm                 Em            Am   
Where the fishing boats were lying on the shore,
     C                               Am           G
The news had travelled fast and everyone went to be,
           C         Em        F
Where the mayor was making a speech,
          C
And the crowd started cheering,
         F                 G            Am
When he talked about the glory of it all,
         Dm          G             Am
And the boys coming home from the war,

      Am               C                Em
Last night, they were dancing in the streets,
            Dm          Em             Am
And making music in the alleyways and bars,
        C                                   Am          G
From a house down by the old town came the sound of guitars,
      C        Em        F
Margarita was waiting inside,
          C                       F                G
With her long black hair hanging down beneath the red light,
      Am                 Dm          G             Am
And she smiled, for the boys coming home from the war,
     Dm          G             Am  F Am F
The boys coming home from the war,

          C                         F
And they said we were heroes, they said we were fine,
         C                        F
We were kings in command, we had God on our side,
              C                     F       G      Am F
And we said "nothing will make us change in any way,
               C                    F
Since yesterday, we're just the same,
               C                    F
Since yesterday, nothing has changed,
               C                    F
Since yesterday, we're all the same,"
                          C                    G         
But I can feel there's a new kind of hunger inside,
            F   G                     Am   F
To be satisfied, I saw it there last night,

      Am          C                    Em
Last night I was walking through the shadows,
      Dm               Em            Am
Far away from all the music and the girls,
        C                            Am        G
When I saw a soldier waiting with a woman in black,
           C       Em       F
And they stood without any word,
       C                         F             G            Am
Just staring at a photograph of someone, and she began to cry,
       Dm         G           Am
For a boy left behind in the war,
      Dm         G           Am  F Am F
Some boy left behind in the war,

          C                         F
And they said we were heroes, they said we were fine,
         C                        F
We were kings in command, we had God on our side,
              C                     F       G      Am F
And we said "nothing will make us change in any way,
               C                    F
Since yesterday, we're just the same,
               C                    F
Since yesterday, nothing has changed,
               C                    F
Since yesterday, we're all the same,"
                             C                    G
But I can feel there's this new kind of hunger inside,
            F   G                     Am   F Am F 
To be satisfied, I saw it there last night,
           G         Am
I saw it there last night...
