^DI knew who he was when I took his name In somehow knowin', it's ^Dsus4just not the same late at ^Gnight ^Em ^DHe knows the danger, but he does what he does He calls it duty, but ^Dsus4I call it love, so here ^GI am While he's ^Emgone to some foreign land

And I cry, ^D'cause I'm all ^Emalone And the nights ^F#get so cold ^Gand long And I try ^Anot to think ^Bmhe won't come home ^Em But I'm ^Gsleepin' with the telephone ^D

[Instrumental] D x 4 [Verse]

^DThe yellow ribbon on my neighbor's gate Always reminds me that ^Dsus4someone's awake just like ^Gme ^Em ^DI hear the sirens and I watch the news He laughs and leaves with his ^Dsus4gun and his blue uni- ^Gform And I ^Empray God keeps him safe from harm

And I cry, ^D'cause I'm all ^Emalone And the nights ^F#get so cold ^Gand long And I try ^Anot to think ^Bmhe won't come home ^Em ^GBut I'm sleepin' with the telephone

^FI loose him in my darkest dreams ^GAnd my blood runs cold and my heart skips a beat ^FSo I get up, I can't take anymore

^GSometimes I ^Emhate how much I love him But everyday I love him more ^D| ^Em ^F# ^G

And I try ^Anot to think ^Bmhe won't come home ^Em| ^F# ^G But I'm sleeping with the telephone ^D| ^D| ^D| ^D|

[Outro]

^DSomething awakes me from where he should be I reach for him, --- the telephone rings ---
