March (ver 2) by Jackopierce

Intro With A

Bm                   G
A daughter born the day they walked the Moon
D                             A
Somewhere on the Edge of the Age of Aquarius
Bm               G                  D               A
In the year her mother - would have otherwise - forgotten

Bm                    G
July Was very hot in North Carolina
D                             A
So she left For Buffalo on a bus in the rain
           Bm                         G
With the steam off the asphalt still wet in her hair
         D                       A         Bm        G  D  A
And the pain of her soldier gone ... just sailed away


Bm                              G
Before he'as a soldier, He was just his Mother's boy
D                            A
And that's exaclty How She planned to keep him
Bm                  G                   D         A
His Father died so long ago and he was all - she had
            Bm                    G
Still she shared His Love With a very young wife
        D          A     Bm                      G  D  A
And before the War   ...   things weren't so bad

CHORUS:

    Bm                     G
     But every Generation makes the same mistakes
       D                            A               
     Still we send our sons away to do the same
     Bm                        G
     The mothers cry and the daughters die inside
              D                     A   Bm   G  D-A  Bm  G  D-A
     And the sons like the fathers  -  march

Bm                              G
Whose hair was longer? I think his, she might say
D                     A
But in the Army they cut it all away
Bm                 G                D    A
Too Much Room For Wild Thoughts to grow
Bm                         G
And in the spring of his child's first year
     D                        A
The father, hey the son, the husband
       Bm                        G
Under beautiful sky, youth like fire in His eyes
D                     A
He gave His Life For Nothin'
     Bm                      G  D  A
No, nothin' at all, they say

Bm                     G
So Many Years and the pain it still remains
D                       A
And now her daughter's man will sail away
Bm                       G
Politics and promises forever the Same
    D                      A              Bm            G  D  A
We take away and sacrifice  ...  What we cannot replace

FINAL CHORUS:

    Bm                     G
     But every Generation makes the same mistakes
       D                            A               
     Still we send our sons away to do the same
     Bm                        G
     The mothers cry and the daughters die inside
              D                    A          Bm                    A
     And the sons like the fathers - now the sons and the daugters - 
      Bm   G  D-A  Bm  G  D-A

Bm                      G                   D   A
Buffalo in the winter, bitter as it is, is home
     Bm                   G             D  A  -  Bm  G  D  A  D/F
For three generations of widowed brides
