(Em)Oh.

(C)Oh. (G)(D)Oh.
(G)And Lillian, don't (C)hang your (G)head,
Me (C)love (G)should (Em7)make you (D7)feel (G)good.
In uniform, you (C)raised a (G)man
who (C)(G)(Em7)volunteered (D7)to (G)stand.
(Em)Oh. (D)(G)(C)(G)Oh.
(D)(G)Oh. (Em)Oh.
(C)(G)Oh. (D)(G)Oh.
(C)Play (D)the (G)bugle, (Em7)play the (D)taps,
(C)make your (Em7)mothers proud.
(C)Raise (D)your (G)rifles (Em7)to the (D)sky,
boys, (C)fire that (Em7)volley loud.
(G)And news was bad
on (C)Upland (G)Ave.,
Me (C)(G)tuchen (Em7)mourn you (D7)our loss.
(G)In Sons rebelled
while (C)fathers (G)yelled
and (C)(G)mothers (Em7)clutched (D7)the cross.
(Em)Oh. (D)(G)(C)Oh.
(D)Oh. (G)(Em)Oh.
(C)Oh. (G)(D)Oh.

boys, (C)fire that (Em7)volley loud.
