[Verse 1]
C                 F
  Those saints in lockstep
C             F
  Across the wasteland
        D
Forever gone, they're home and walk 
along
C            F
  Plod ever onward
C             F
  Across some tundra
             D
The light is long, but it's not long
 before it's gone
     G
Well fine

[Chorus]
C                       G
  It calls you back to mind
   D
At once, at last
C                     G
  Oh goodness, mercy mine
        D
Soldier on, but please not so long
     G
This time

[Verse 2]
C                 F
  Too young and thoughtless
C               F
  To comb your memories
            D
I know it's wrong, just give until 
it's gone
C             F
  Some tired mantra
C             F
  Calls ever onward
         D
Shout it loud, just make it up 
somehow
       G
Well alright


[Hook]
C                             G
  And it'll call you back to mind
   D
At once, at last
C                     G
  Oh goodness, mercy mine
        D
Soldier on, but please not so long
     G
This time
