_ [D#] [F#] I breathe glad [G#] sleeps in [B] his faded coat [F#] of blue.
In a lone and [C#] silent grave, why's [F#] the heart [Fm] that beats [C#] so true?
_ [G#] [F#] He fell faint and hungry _ among the [C#] famished [G#] brave,
[F#] and it [A#m] laid him sad [C#] and lonely _ [B]
within [F#] his nameless grave.
_ _ _ He [D#] cried, [F#] give me water and [B] just one little [A#m] drum.
[F#] _ My mother, she [C#] will bless [D#m] you [F#] in the many years to [C#]
come.
Oh, tell my sweet sister, so gentle and so true,
I'll meet her up in heaven in my [B] faded coat of blue. _ _ _
_ [D#] No [F#] more the _ [G#] [F#] bugle [B] _ calls the weary [F#] one. _ _
Rest the [C#] lonely _ spirit _ [F#] in [A#m] thy [G#m] grave _ [C#] undone.
[F#] Over _ _ you and find you among the good and [C#]
true
when [F#] the road _ [C#] is given _ [B] or the faded coat [F#] of blue.

_ [D#m] [F#] Long, long years have _ vanished [B] and though he comes [F#] no more,
yet my anxious heart [C#] will start [Fm] [F#] with each good [C#] fall at my door.
_ [F#] I taste o'er the _ hilltop where he waved the [C#] last adieu,
but no gallant lad I see [G#] in his [B] faded [B] coat [F#] of _ _ blue.
[D#] No [Fm] more [F#] the _ bugle [B] _ calls the weary [A#m] _
one.
[F#] _ _ Rest the lonely [C#] _ spirit _ in [A#m] thy [F#] grave [C#] _ unknown.
[F#] I'll know you and find you _ among the good and true
when [F#] the road of life is [C#] given _ [B] or the faded coat [F#] of blue. _ _
