[Verse 1]
C F
Dearest love, do you remember
C G
When we last did meet,
C F
How you told me that you loved me
C G C
Kneeling at my feet.
G Am
Oh how proud you stood before me
F G G7
In your suit of blue.
C F
There you vowed to me and country
C G C
Ever to be true.
[Chorus]
F C
Weeping sad and lonely
C G
Hopes and fears, how vain.
Am F
When this cruel war is over,
C G C
Pray that we meet again.
[Verse 2]
C F
When the summer breeze is sighing
C G
Mournfully along,
C F
Or when autumn leaves are falling,
C G C
Sadly breathes this song.
G Am
Oft in dreams I see thee lying
F G G7
On the battle plain.
C F
Lonely, wounded, even dying,
C G C
Calling out in vain.
[Chorus]
F C
Weeping sad and lonely
C G
Hopes and fears, how vain.
Am F
When this cruel war is over,
C G C
Pray that we meet again.
[Verse 3]
C F
If amid the din of battle
C G
Nobly you should fall,
C F
Far away from those that love you,
C G C
None to hear you call,
G Am
Who would whisper words of comfort?
F G G7
Who would ease your pain?
C F
Ah, the many cruel fancies
C G C
Ever in my brain.
[Chorus]
F C
Weeping sad and lonely
C G
Hopes and fears, how vain.
Am F
When this cruel war is over,
C G C
Pray that we meet again.
[Verse 4]
C F
But our country called you, darling,
C G
Angels cheer your way.
C F
While our nation's sons are fighting,
C G C
We can only pray.
G Am
Nobly strike for God and Liberty,
F G G7
Let all nations see
C F
How we love the starry banner,
C G C
Emblem of the free.
