March Jackopierce
Intro With A
[Bm]A daughter born the d[G]ay they walked the Moon
[D]Somewhere on the Edge of the A[A]ge of Aquarius
[Bm]In the year her m[G]other - would have [D]otherwise - forg[A]otten
[Bm]July Was very hot in N[G]orth Carolina
[D]So she left For Buffalo on a b[A]us in the rain
With the st[Bm]eam off the asphalt still w[G]et in her hair
And the p[D]ain of her soldier gone [A]... just s[Bm]ailed away[G] [D] [A]
[Bm]Before he'as a soldier, He was j[G]ust his Mother's boy
[D]And that's exaclty How She pl[A]anned to keep him
[Bm]His Father died so l[G]ong ago and he was a[D]ll - she h[A]ad
Still she sh[Bm]ared His Love With a v[G]ery young wife
And befo[D]re the War [A] ... [Bm] things weren't so bad[G] [D] [A]
CHORUS:
[Bm] But every Generation m[G]akes the same mistakes
St[D]ill we send our sons away to [A]do the same
[Bm]The mothers cry and the da[G]ughters die inside
And the s[D]ons like the fathers [A]- m[Bm]arch[G] [D-A] [Bm] [G] [D-A]
[Bm]Whose hair was longer? I think h[G]is, she might say
[D]But in the Army they c[A]ut it all away
[Bm]Too Much Room For W[G]ild Thoughts to g[D]row[A]
[Bm]And in the spring of his ch[G]ild's first year
The f[D]ather, hey the son, the h[A]usband
Under b[Bm]eautiful sky, youth like f[G]ire in His eyes
[D]He gave His Life For N[A]othin'
No, n[Bm]othin' at all, they say[G] [D] [A]
[Bm]So Many Years and the p[G]ain it still remains
[D]And now her daughter's m[A]an will sail away
[Bm]Politics and promises for[G]ever the Same
We t[D]ake away and sacrifice [A] ... What we c[Bm]annot replace[G] [D] [A]
FINAL CHORUS:
[Bm] But every Generation m[G]akes the same mistakes
St[D]ill we send our sons away to [A]do the same
[Bm]The mothers cry and the da[G]ughters die inside
And the s[D]ons like the fathers [A]- now the s[Bm]ons and the daugters -[A]
M[Bm]arch [G] [D-A] [Bm] [G] [D-A]
[Bm]Buffalo in the winter, b[G]itter as it is, is h[D]ome[A]
