Where the mayor was making a speech,

When he talked about the glory of it all,
Dm G Am
And the boys coming home from the war

Last night, they were dancing in the streets,

When I saw a soldier waiting with a woman in black,

And they stood without any word,
C F G Am
Just staring at a photograph of someone, and she began to cry,
Dm G Am
For a boy left behind in the war,

Some boy left behind in the war
CHORUS:
