Coming Home Soon
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Verse]
F#m A
Where have all the young men gone?
E F#m
They're leaving town, one by one
A
Johnny, come and get your gun
E F#m
Father give your only son
A
Fearlessly they lay down they're lives
E F#m
Son, don't be afraid to die
A
You're fighting for the land that you love
E F#m
Fighting for your God up above
[Chorus]
D E F#m
When the bullets fall around you like rain
D E F#m
And the starry night has burst into flames
D E A Em F#m
Remember you're the few, you're the brave
D E F#m
Remember what your fighting to save
A E F#m D
I know you'll be coming home soon
A E F#m D
The war is over, it was on the evening news
A E F#m E
Nobody's winning when it's life we have to lose
D A E F#m
I know you'll be coming home soon, coming home soon
[Verse]
F#m A
Victory can be bittersweet
E F#m
Insurrection in the street
A
It never comes without a price
E F#m
And never without sacrifice
A
Suicidal bombs in their cars
E F#m
Wrap them up in stripes and stars
A
Johnny boy is coming home
E F#m
For a soldier's burial
[Chorus]
D E F#m
When the bullets fall around you like rain
D E F#m
And the starry night has burst into flames
D E A Em F#m
Remember you're the few, you're the brave
D E F#m
Remember what your fighting to save
A E F#m D
I know you'll be coming home soon
A E F#m D
The war is over, it was on the evening news
A E F#m E
Nobody's winning when it's life we have to lose
D A E F#m
I know you'll be coming home soon, coming home soon

Where have all the young men gone?
A D
They’re leaving town one-by-one
A E
Johnny come and get your gun
A D A
Father give your on-ly son
(Verse Pattern)
Fearlessly they lay down their lives
Son don’t be afraid to die
You’re fighting for the land that you love
Yeah, yeah, fighting for your god up above
When the bullets fall upon you like rain
And the starry night is burst into flame
Remember you’re the few, you’re the brave
Remember what you’re fighting to save
(Chorus Pattern)
I know, you’ll be coming home soon
The war is over, it was on the evening news
Nobody’s winning when it’s life we have to lose
I know, you’ll be coming home soon, coming home soon.
(Break, A with slightly reggae-ish rhythm)
(Verse Pattern)
Victory can be bittersweet
Insurrection in the street
It never comes without a price
And never without sac-ri-fice
The suicidal bombs in their cars
wrap em up in stripes and stars
Johnny boy is comin’ home
For a soldier’s bur-i-al
When the bullets fall around you like rain
And the starry night is burst into flame
Remember you’re the few, you’re the brave
Remember what you’re fighting to save
(Chorus Pattern)
I know you’ll be coming home soon
The war is over, it was on the evening news
Nobody’s winning when it’s life we have to lose
I know, you’ll be coming home soon, coming home soon.
I know you’ll be coming home soon.. coming home soon
The war is over, it was on the evening news
Nobody’s winning when it’s life we have to lose
I know, you’ll be coming home soon, coming home soon.
Coming home soon…
