been about a year since my daddy had gone
                  D                                                                    C                                 G  
when I saw an old carriage, and a coat I'd once known
                  G                                                                    C                                      G  
it was draped o'er a man who once stood proud and tall
          D                                                            C                         G  
now broken and battered and missing an arm
G                                                                                    C                                      G  
he cried when he saw us, and the words they came slow
                  D                                                              C                                    G  
of the sunrise he found and the hell that he'd known
          G                                                              C                         G  
he asked for forgiveness for failing us all
             D                                                      C                      G  
his duty cut short, in the battle he lost
                          D                                                                    C                            G  
We said, "don't mind that daddy, for now you are home,
          D                                                                      C                            G  
now mama cries for joy, and she won't sleep alone.
                  C                                                                              G  
You've sons and you've daughters, now please use our arms."
          D                                                                         C                         G  
Now rise before the sun, for the work to be done.
