[Ab]
[Bb] [Eb] these are the words [Ab] [Eb] I [Db] heard [Ebm] a soldier say.
He said,
[Bb] tell my babe to keep the [F] light in the window [Dm]
[A] [Cm] till [F]
[Eb] I come home, till [Ab] I [Bb] come home.
[Eb]
[A] Well I [Bb] don't know how long or how soon,
[Gm] [Bb] it may [Eb] be tomorrow, it may be never or [Ebm] maybe this afternoon.
[Bb] Somebody tell my babe to [F] please keep the light, keep the light, keep the light in the window [Eb] till I come home, home,
[Bb] home.
Now [Eb] darling you know how [Ebm] much I need you, you see [Bb] I've been gone so long, so long.
[Eb] But there's nothing that'll [Ebm] ever change the way I feel, I'm just asking you [C] to hold on baby, please [F] hold on.
[Bb] Listen, [Eb]
[Bb] I'm risking my life everyday to end this fight, deep down [Eb] inside my soul now.
I [Bbm] believe I know, [Ebm] I say I know this cause of right, I just [Bb] want you baby, [F] please keep the light, keep the light, keep [Eb] the light in the window till I come home, home, home.
Till I, till I, till I, till I, [G] till I [Bb] come home again.
