Cm G# Eb
A young lady leaves her mother
Bb
With no one to love her
G# Eb
To protect her from the world
Cm G# Eb
And I have seen the monsters
Bb
That will haunt her
G# Eb
That will tear her all apart
Cm Bb Eb G#
And at her gravestone we will remember
Cm Bb Eb G#
Just where we were when you knew she would go
Cm Bb Eb G#
And I still remember that day that we left her
Cm Bb G# G#m
That's when she said that she knows how it goes
G# Cm
"Your day will come
G# Cm
Your day will come
G# Cm G
Your day will come"
G# Cm G
And no matter what they say
G# Cm F
It won't matter if you pray or if you sin
G# Cm
'Cause in the end it's all the same
Cm G# Eb
A young man becomes a soldier
Bb G# Eb
He's isn't much older than a boy and that's a shame
Cm G# Eb
They will lead him into battle
Bb G# Eb
Hand him medals when he comes home rearranged
Cm Bb
And at the say-so
Eb G#
Of a man with a halo
Cm Bb Eb G#
He will obey he will fall into place
Cm Bb Eb G#
Remembered by ribbons but never forgiven
Cm Bb G#
He'll shoulder the bulk of the blame
G#m
What a shame
And we'll sing
G# Cm
"Your day will come
G# Cm
Your day will come
G# Cm G
Your day will come"
G# Cm G
And no matter what they say
G# Cm F
It won't matter if you pray or if you sin
G# Cm
'Cause in the end it's all the same
Cm G# Eb
If I only had a dollar
Bb G# Eb
For every horror that befalls my fellow man
Cm G# Eb
I'd never work another hour
Bb G# Eb
But I'd grow sour from the guilt and bitterness
Cm Bb Eb G#
The luck of the draw will determine the fallen
Cm Bb Eb G#
And everyone else will relax and move on
Cm Bb Eb G#
But what will you do when they come looking for you friend'
Cm Bb G#
I hope that you're brave and you're strong
G#m
Through it all
G# Cm
"Your day will come
G# Cm
Your day will come
G# Cm G
Your day will come"
G# Cm G
And no matter what they say
G# Cm F
It won't matter if you pray or if you sin
G# Cm
'Cause in the end it's all the same
