G D The first time it was fathers, the last time it was sons G C D And in between your husbands marched away with drums and guns G C G But you never thought to question you just went on with your lives C Am C D Dsus4 D 'Cause all they'd taught you who to be was mothers, daughters, wives verse 1 G D You barely just remember the tears your mother shed G C D As she sat and read the paper through the lists and lists of dead G C G And the gold frame held the photograph your mother kissed each night C Am C D Dsus4 D And the door frame held the shocked and silent stranger from the fight verse 2 G D And twenty-one years later you had children of your own G C D The trumpet sounded once again and the soldier boys were gone G C G And you made their guns and drove their trucks and you tended to their wounds C Am C D Dsus4 D At night you kissed their photographs and prayed for safe returns
