[Verse 1]
Bm                    F#
Don't cry mother dear, your boy has left you for a couple years
Bm
He's packed his bags, packed in his courage
F#                                      Bm     F#
Put away his fears and stepped into the unknown
    Bm            F#
And postponed all complications, yeah
  Bm                                F#
A kiss goodbye and an upset stomach sends me on my way
Bm                                F#
What I believe, it gets me by, it gets me through the days
Bm                              F#
Tears fall and puddles form and days without an end
Bm                            F#
Determination never building, the war has just begun

Bm F#
Bm F#

[Chorus]
         Bm          F#
And it's 1, 2, 3, 4, boys are marching out to war
Bm          F#
4, 3, 2, 1, they won't stop 'til it's all done
           Bm
And it's a left, right, steadfast
F#
Fast to the field with their destiny sealed
Bm                     F#
Right, left, two-step, off to the plane and the men come home

[Post-Chorus]
Bm  G             A        Bm
Oh, oh, don't you cry for me
Bm  G              A            Bm
Oh, oh, I'm coming home to your arms

[Verse 2]
Bm          F#
1, 2, 3, 4, take the lead and I'll follow you
           Bm
You're the man with the plan, I'm the pawn in your hand
F#                                  Bm    F#
Piece to be played, sacrifice to be made ooh
        Bm           F#  N.C.
It's my fate in your hands
        Bm
With my brothers by my side, form a line, shoulders tight
       F#
I will push the right, oh will you push the left-right?
   Bm
If one man falls, they don't move till he's up
  F#                                 Bm   F#
A one-man unit at the wrist, our handcuff
         Bm   F#
It's handcuff

[Chorus]
    Bm               F#
And it's 1, 2, 3, 4, boys are marching out to war
Bm          F#
4, 3, 2, 1, they won't stop 'til it's all done
           Bm
And it's a left, right, steadfast
F#
Fast to the field with their destiny sealed
Bm                     F#
Right, left, two-step, off to the plane and the men come home

[Post-Chorus]
Bm  G             A       Bm
Oh, oh, don't you cry for me
Bm  G              A            Bm
Oh, oh, I'm coming home to your arms
Bm  G             A       Bm
Oh, oh, don't you cry for me
Bm  G              A            Bm
Oh, oh, I'm coming home to your arms

[Chorus]
         Bm          F#
And it's 1, 2, 3, 4, boys are marching out to war
Bm          F#
4, 3, 2, 1, they won't stop 'til it's all done
           Bm
And it's a left, right, steadfast
F#
Fast to the field with their destiny sealed
Bm                     F#                              Bm
Right, left, two-step, off to the plane and the men go home
