Key: C
[Verse 1]
C F
IN '44 in bomber county
C F
Young men waiting for the night,
C F
In the hedgerow's birds are singing,
F G
calling in the falling light,
[Chorus]
C F C
And the Captain says, tonight there'll be a Bombers Moon,
C F C
We'll be there and back beneath a Bombers Moon,
G F C
A thousand Bombers over the Northern Sea,
G C
Heading out, out, for Germany,
[Verse 2]
C F
Chalkie White stands at the dart board,
C Dm
Curley Thompson writes to his wife,
Em
Nobby Clarke and Jumbo Johnson,
F G
Playing cards and smoking pipes,
[Chorus]
C F C
And over the hangers rises a Bombers Moon,
F C
Full and clear rising as the engines croon,
C F C
The planes they taxi out on to runway five,
G C
And sail off out into the silvery night,
[Verse 3]
C F
Sandy Campbell checks his oil gauge,
C Dm
the Belgium coast is coming soon,
Em
Curley Thompson lifts his sextant,
F G
lines up on the Bombers Moon,
[Chorus]
C F
The waves are shining there,
F C
below the Bombers Moon,
C F C
Lancaster's flying high, above the Bombers Moon,
G C
Coming in along the Belgian coast,
G C
a thousand silver shrouded ghosts,
[Verse 4]
C F
Flack flies up around the city,
C Dm
Jumbo Johnson banks his plane,
Em
Goes in low and drops his payload,
F G
turns to join the pack again,
[Chorus]
F C
People are dieing there below the Bombers Moon,
F C
The Cities a raging Hell below the Bombers Moon,
G C
The planes head back towards the Northern Sea,
G C
Young men coming home from victory,
[Verse 5]
C F
Over Belgium came the fighters,
C Dm
flying high against the night,
Em
Curley Thompson saw them coming,
F G
closing in before he died,
[Chorus]
F C
Young men shot them down below the Bombers Moon,
F C
Shot them down in flames below the Bombers Moon,
G C
Young men sending young men to their graves,
G C
Sent them down into the North Sea waves,
[Verse 6]
C F
'83 Mrs White in Bomber County
C Dm
dusts his picture, and she cries,
Em
Chalky White in uniform looking
F G
as he did the day he died,
[Chorus]
C F C
For God's sake no more Bombers Moons
C F C
No more young men going out to die too soon,
G C
Old men sending young men out to die,
G C
dying for politicians lies
[Chorus]
C F C
For God's sake no more Bombers Moons,
F C
No more young men going out to die too soon,
G C
Old men sending young men out to kill,
C G C
if we don't stop them then they never will,
F C
No more, No more Bombers Moons
F C
No more, No more Bombers Moons
F C
No more, No more Bombers Moons...
