Intro With A
BmA daughter born the dGay they walked the Moon
DSomewhere on the Edge of the AAge of Aquarius
BmIn the year her mGother - would have Dotherwise - forgAotten
BmJuly Was very hot in NGorth Carolina
DSo she left For Buffalo on a bAus in the rain
With the stBmeam off the asphalt still wGet in her hair
And the pDain of her soldier gone A... just sBmailed awayG D A
BmBefore he'as a soldier, He was jGust his Mother's boy
DAnd that's exaclty How She plAanned to keep him
BmHis Father died so lGong ago and he was aDll - she hAad
Still she shBmared His Love With a vGery young wife
And befoDre the War A ... Bm things weren't so bad G D A
CHORUS:
Bm But every Generation mGakes the same mistakes
StDill we send our sons away to Ado the same
BmThe mothers cry and the daGughters die inside
D A Bm G D-A Bm G D-A
And the sons like the fathers - march
BmWhose hair was longer? I think hGis, she might say
DBut in the Army they cAut it all away
BmToo Much Room For WGild Thoughts to gDrow A
BmAnd in the spring of his chGild's first year
The fDather, hey the son, the hAusband
Under bBmeautiful sky, youth like fGire in His eyes
DHe gave His Life For NAothin'
No, nBmothin' at all, they say G D A
BmSo Many Years and the pGain it still remains
DAnd now her daughter's mAan will sail away
BmPolitics and promises forGever the Same
We tDake away and sacrifice A ... What we cBmannot replace G D A
FINAL CHORUS:
Bm But every Generation mGakes the same mistakes
StDill we send our sons away to Ado the same

And the sDons like the fathers A- now the sBmons and the daugters -A
