G                                       C
Oh, I've just come from the land of the sun
       D                                     G
From a war that must be won in the name of truth
G                                           C
With our soldiers so brave, your freedom we will save
         D                                      G
With our rifles and grenades and some help from God

G                        C
I want to see my family, my wife and child waiting for me
D                                            G
I've got to go home, I've been so alone, you see

G                                       C
You just can't believe the joy I did recieve
      D                                     G
When I finally got my leave and I was going home
G                                           C
Oh, I flew through the sky, my convictions could not lie
         D                                      G
For my country I would die and I will see it soon

G                        C
I want to see my family, my wife and child waiting for me
D                                            G
I've got to go home, I've been so alone, you see

G                                       C
When I walked through the door, my wife she lay upon the floor
      D                                     G
And with tears her eyes were sore, I did not know why
G                                           C
Then I looked into her hand and I saw the telegram
         D                                      G
That said that I was a brave, brave man, but that I was dead

G                        C
I want to see my family, my wife and child waiting for me
D                                            G
I've got to go home, I've been so alone, you see        ( 3 X)
