Last Amnight I was Am7walking through the Aadd9harbour,
Where the Ffishing boats are Glying on the Amshore,
The Emnews had travelled fast and everyFone went to Gbe,
Where the Cmayor was Gmaking a Fspeech,
And the Ccrowd started cheering,
When he Ftalked about the Gglory of it Amall,
And the Dmboys coming Ghome from the Amwar
Last night, they were Am7dancing in the Aadd9streets,
And making Fmusic in the Galleyways and Ambars,
From a Emhouse down in the old town came the Fsound of Gguitars,
MargaCrita was Gwaiting inFside,
With her Clong black Ehair
Hanging Fdown beneath the Gred light, and she Amsmiled
For the Dmboys coming Ghome from the Amwar,

And they Csaid we were heroes, they Fsaid we were fine,
We were Ckings in command, we had Fgod on our side,

I saw it there last Amnight F Am
Last night, I was Am7walking through the Aadd9shadows,
Far aFway from all the Gmusic and the Amgirls,
When I Emsaw a soldier waiting with a Fwoman in Gblack,
And they Cstood withGout any Fword,
Just Cstaring at a photograph of Fsomeone, and Gshe began to Amcry,
For a Dmboy left beGhind in the Amwar,
Some Gboy left behind in the Amwar F Am F

Yelling for another double Bmscotch

There was Dmass confusion, this Cbeauty was alone
And then the Groom began to Cshimmer
Every Gheart was beating Cfast

Standing looking over at the Dscene

Whispered, "Do you want to come Bmwith me
I'm heading for the Cbeach"
In her DBMW Csix-thirty-five
Going Dsmooth at ninety, feeling Cgood to be alive
And then the Gmoon began to Cshimmer
Hey, the Gsea was roaring Cin
Just one Gkiss and then his Cheart
