Bombers' Moon by Mike Harding [Verse 1]

^CIN '44 in bo^Fmber county ^CYoung men waiting for the nig^Fht, ^CIn the hedgerow's birds are s^Finging, ^Fcalling in the falli^Gng light,

[Chorus]

A^Cnd the C^Faptain says, tonight there'll be a Bombers ^CMoon, W^Ce'll be ^Fthere and back beneath a Bombers^C Moon, ^GA thousand Bombers o^Fver the Northern ^CSea, ^GHeading out, out, for German^Cy,

[Verse 2]

^CChalkie White stands a^Ft the dart board, ^CCurley Thompson writes t^Dmo his wife, ^EmNobby Clarke and Jumbo Johnson, ^FPlaying cards and smoking ^Gpipes,

[Chorus]

^CAnd ove^Fr the hangers rises a Bombers ^CMoon, F^Full and clear rising as the engines ^Ccroon, ^CThe pla^Fnes they taxi out on to runway^C five, ^GAnd sail off out into the silvery ^Cnight,

[Verse 3]

^CSandy Campbell ^Fchecks his oil gauge, ^Cthe Belgium coast is^Dm coming soon, ^EmCurley Thompson lifts his sextant, ^Flines up on the Bombers ^GMoon,

[Chorus]

^CThe wa^Fves are shining there, ^Fbelow the Bombers ^CMoon, ^CLan^Fcaster's flying high, above the Bombers ^CMoon, ^GComing in along the Belgian ^Ccoast, ^Ga thousand silver shrouded g^Chosts,

[Verse 4]

^CFlack flies up ^Faround the city, ^CJumbo Johnson ^Dmbanks his plane, ^EmGoes in low and drops his payload, ^Fturns to join the pack ag^Gain,

[Chorus]

^FPeople are dieing there below the Bombers^C Moon, T^Fhe Cities a raging Hell below the Bombers ^CMoon, ^GThe planes head back towards the Northern ^CSea, ^GYoung men coming home from victo^Cry,

[Verse 5]

^COver Belgium ^Fcame the fighters, ^Cflying high ^Dmagainst the night, ^EmCurley Thompson saw them coming, ^Fclosing in before he ^Gdied,

[Chorus]

^FYoung men shot them down below the Bombers ^CMoon, ^FShot them down in flames below the Bombers ^CMoon, ^GYoung men sending young men to their ^Cgraves, ^GSent them down into the North Sea ^Cwaves,

[Verse 6]

^C'83 Mrs White in ^FBomber County d^Custs his picture, ^Dmand she cries, ^EmChalky White in uniform looking ^Fas he did the day he d^Gied,

[Chorus]

^CFor G^Fod's sake no more Bombers ^CMoons ^CNo mo^Fre young men going out to die to^Co soon, ^GOld men sending young men out to ^Cdie, ^G dying for politicians li^Ces

[Chorus]

^CFor ^FGod's sake no more Bombers ^CMoons, ^FNo more young men going out to die too ^Csoon, ^GOld men sending young men out to ^Ckill, ^Cif w^Ge don't stop them then they never^C will,

^FNo more, No more Bombers Moons ^C ^FNo more, No more Bombers Moons ^C ^FNo more, No more Bombers Moons.^C..
