Strum Chorus
Flat Pick the Verses
Capo 1
Key C#m
Verse 1
Rain falls on a moonless night, sil..ent screams grow louder.
Booming sounds far away, air smells like gun powder,
And deadly flashes of light...brighten up the skies.
Terror fills the night but I can t hear the cries.
Verse 2
Endless burst of cannon fire, vio...lent flames own the dark
Explosions all night, timed to the beat of my heart
Feel the beating heart grow heavy...as I ponder
How many lives have ended tonight I wonder.
Chorus
Your war is over boy, go on home
Get a job and move on with your life.
People won t understand what you have done.
Just remember God s on our side
Go on home boy, find peace where you came from.
Verse 3
Lying in bed, rumbling sounds and brok...en shards of light
Pierces my sleep and opens my eyes wide with fright.
Smell of ozone in the air...can t breathe heart beats fast,
Wide awake my mind struggles to leave the past.
Verse 4
I gaze through a dark window, search...ing the angry skies
Thunder fills my ears, as lightning turns on my eyes.
In panic, I roll over and feel...you by my side,
Then blessed peace comes back to me for a while
End Chorus
My war s not over, since I ve been home
I got a job and moved on with my life.
People won t understand what I have done.
Ever day I pray God s on my side
There s no peace when I think of where I came from.
Repeat End Chorus
My war s not over, since I ve been home
I got a job and moved on with my life.
People don t understand what I have done.
Ever day I pray God s on my side
There s no peace when I think of where I came from.
