Charlie boy, don't go to war, first born in forty-four
 G  Bm       Em     Bm   Em   D   Bm  Am    G
Kennedy made him believe we could do much more

G     D    Bm   C   Bm   Am  G
Ooooh-Oo-oooooh-Oo-ooooh-oo-ooooh

 G  Bm    D    Em         Bm    Em    D    Bm        Am    G
Lillian, don't hang your head, love should make you feel good
   G   Bm   D   Em      Bm       Em  D  Bm     Am    G
In uniform you raised a man, who vol-un-teered to stand

G     D    Bm   C   Bm   Am  G
Ooooh-Oo-oooooh-Oo-ooooh-oo-ooooh

Em        G      Bm       D
Play the bugle, play the taps and
Em         G         D
Make your mothers proud
Em          G     Bm      D
Raise your rifles to the sky boys
Em         G        D
Fire that volley loud

 G       Bm  D  Em     Bm       Em    D   Bm    Am    G
News was bad on Upland Ave, my touch and mourn our loss
G       Bm       D    Em      Bm
Sons rebelled, while fathers yelled, 
     Em  D     Bm      Am     G
and moth-ers clutched the cross

G     D    Bm   C   Bm   Am  G
Ooooh-Oo-oooooh-Oo-ooooh-oo-ooooh

Em        G      Bm       D
Play the bugle, play the taps and
Em         G         D
Make your mothers proud
Em          G     Bm      D
Raise your rifles to the sky boys
Em         G        D
Fire that volley loud
