_ _ _ I'm driving on the day's last train, _ stepping on the platform trying to see you through the rain.
[C] I don't know the ways you've changed since I left, and I really [G] don't care. _ _
_ _ _ [D] I've done my tour duty, [G] now I'm home and I ain't going anywhere. _ _ _
_ _ _ I taught myself to tolerate the pain, all the loneliness and boredom and the work I
did in vain, [C] all the work we did in vain.
Now I'm not the same as I [G] was. _ _
_ _ _ [D] I've done my tour duty, now [G] I'll try to do what a civilian does. _ _
_ _ And I promise not to bore you with my stories, and I promise not to scare you with [D] my tears.
And I never would exaggerate the glory, I seem [D] so satisfied here.

[G] I've been eating like I'm out on bail, _ _ collard greens and chicken wings, oysters by the pail,
even oysters by the bale, making up for those [G] lost days. _ _ _ _ _
[D] Cause I've done my tour duty, [C] now I'm gone, I'll put you and my [G] family away. _ _ _ _ _

And we'll laugh like little children, tell them secrets, and probably cry like old women drinking [D] gin. _
[G] Cause I've done my tour duty, now [C] I'm home and I ain't leaving [G] here again. _ _ _ _ _
[D] I've done my tour duty, [C] now I'm home and I [G] ain't leaving here again. _ _ _ _ _ _
