Bm                    F# 
Don't cry mother dear, your boy has left you for a couple years 
Bm 
He's packed his bags, packed in his courage 
F#                                      Bm     F# 
Put away his fears and stepped into the unknown 
    Bm            F# 
And postponed all complications, yeah 
  Bm                                F# 
A kiss goodbye and an upset stomach sends me on my way 
Bm                                F# 
What I believe, it gets me by, it gets me through the days 
Bm                              F# 
Tears fall and puddles form and days without an end 
Bm                            F# 
Determination never building, the war has just begun

         Bm          F# 
And it's 1, 2, 3, 4, boys are marching out to war 
Bm          F# 
4, 3, 2, 1, they won't stop 'til it's all done 
           Bm 
And it's a left, right, steadfast 
F# 
Fast to the field with their destiny sealed 
Bm                     F# 
Right, left, two-step, off to the plane and the men come home 


Post-Chorus 
Bm  G             A        Bm 
Oh, oh, don't you cry for me 
Bm  G              A            Bm 
Oh, oh, I'm coming home to your arms 

 
Bm          F# 
1, 2, 3, 4, take the lead and I'll follow you 
           Bm 
You're the man with the plan, I'm the pawn in your hand 
F#                                  Bm    F# 
Piece to be played, sacrifice to be made ooh 
        Bm           F#  N.C. 
It's my fate in your hands 
        Bm 
With my brothers by my side, form a line, shoulders tight 
       F# 
I will push the right, oh will you push the left-right? 
   Bm 
If one man falls, they don't move till he's up 
  F#                                 Bm   F# 
A one-man unit at the wrist, our handcuff 
         Bm   F# 
It's handcuff 


    Bm               F# 
And it's 1, 2, 3, 4, boys are marching out to war 
Bm          F# 
4, 3, 2, 1, they won't stop 'til it's all done 
           Bm 
And it's a left, right, steadfast 
F# 
Fast to the field with their destiny sealed 
Bm                     F# 
Right, left, two-step, off to the plane and the men come home 

Post-Chorus 
Bm  G             A       Bm 
Oh, oh, don't you cry for me 
Bm  G              A            Bm 
Oh, oh, I'm coming home to your arms 
Bm  G             A       Bm 
Oh, oh, don't you cry for me 
Bm  G              A            Bm 
Oh, oh, I'm coming home to your arms
