From: Arlo Guthrie (rsrhq@risingson.com)
Capoed up on the 2nd fret. I left out the
suspensions etc... It's more or less like this:
WHEN A SOLDIER MAKES IT HOME
words and music by Arlo Guthrie
C Em
Halfway around the world tonight
F G C
In a strange and foreign land
Am Em
A soldier packs his memories
F G
As he leaves Afghanistan
Am Em
And back home they don't know too much
F G
There's just no way to tell
C Em
I guess you had to be there
F G
For to know that war was hell
Chorus:
F Am F
And there won't be any victory parades
C F
For those that's coming back
Am Em
They'll fly them in at midnight
F G
And unload the body sacks
Am Em
And the living will be walking down
F G
A long and lonely road
C Em
Because nobody seems to care these days
F G C
When a soldier makes it home
