Dm                     F      C
My youngest son came home today
Dm                            F        C
His friends marched with him all the way.
Dm                     C      Dm
A fife and drum beat out the time.
        F             C      Dm
While in his box of polished pine,
        Bb      C    Bb  *      A
Like dead meat on a butcher's tray,
Dm             **    C      Dm
My youngest son came home today.
