Tears By The Firelight

Am E C G Dm C E Am Am Am

[Verse]
Am           E          C       
Tears by the firelight, he won't
    G
 be home tonight
Dm              C                
The Royal order reached him now 
                  G
to fight for the land
Am              E        C      
Eyes at the window-pane, staring
     G
 through pouring rain
Dm               C                
All the room is cold and grey, the
 G          Am
 fire burns bright
C                    G         Am
Every night there is no one beside
F                  C        
She's counting the hours, the 
 Dm        E
memories burn
Am        C         G           
Day after day all her thoughts 
     Am
slip away
                  G       F
She waits for the one to return

Am       E                   C  
Almost a year has gone, the 
               G
battles are raging on

Dm             C                 
She has got no sign of life, no 
        G
news at all
Am           E               C  
She wants to know his stand far 
       G
in the foreign land
Dm                   C           
For King and Country he has left,
G                     Am
 the King's sleeping tight
      C              G        Am
Every night there is no one beside
      F             C        
She's counting the hours, the 
Dm         E
memories burn
Am        C           G         
Day after day all her thoughts 
      Am
slip away
                  G       F
She waits for the one to return

Am           E          C       
Tears by the firelight, he won't
    G
 be home tonight
Dm             C                 
Sparks of hope begin to glow, the
             G
 end of the war
Am           E                   
Church-bells proclaim the peace, 
     C            G
they welcome the returnees
Dm              C          
"The victory is ours!" but she 
G                    Am
thinks, "What's mine?"
      C              G         Am
Every night there is no one beside
      F            C        
She's counting the hours, the 
  Dm          E
memories burn
Am        C           G         
Day after day all her thoughts 
     Am
slip away
                  G        F
She waits for the one to return

              Am   C    G        
Tears by the light, the fire 
   Am
burns down
F                 C              
Words black as grave's ground, 
           G
seals red as blood
        Am    C  G            Am
By the light, life's found an end
                 G            F
The parchment is still in her hand
