[Intro 1]
[G][A][G][A][G][A][Bm]

[Verse 1]
"A daughter born [G]the day
they walked the moon
[D]Somewhere on the edge of
[A]the Age of [Bm]Aquarius
In the year [G]her mother
Would have [D]otherwise forgot[A]ten

[Verse 2]
[Bm]July was very hot in North[G] Carol[D]ina
So she left for Buffalo [A]on a bus
in the rain
[Bm]With the steam off the asphalt
still wet [G]in her hair
And the [D]pain of her soldier [A]gone
[Bm]Just sailed away
[G][D][A]

[Verse 3]
[Bm]Before he was a soldier,
he was [G]just his mother's [D]boy
And that's exaclty how [A]she
planned to keep him
[Bm]His father died so long [G]ago
and he was [D]all [A]she had
Still she [Bm]shared his love with
[G]a very young wife
And be[D]fore [A]the war [Bm]things
weren't so bad
[G][D][A]

[Verse 4]
[G]But every generation mak[Bm]es
[A]the same mistakes
[G]And still they send their sons
[Bm]away to do the [A]same
[G]The mothers cry[D] and
the daugh[Bm]ters die [A]inside
And the son[G]s like the fathers
[Bm]March[G]

[Interlude 1]
[D][A][Bm][G][D][A]
[Bm][G][D][A][Bm][G][D][A]

[Verse 5]
[Bm]Whose hair was longer? I think[G] his,
she might say
[D]But in the army the[A]y cut
it all [Bm]away
Too much room [G]for wild
thoughts to grow
[D][A]

[Verse 6]
[Bm]And in the spring of his c[G]hild's
first [D]year
The father, hey [A]the son, the husband
Under [Bm]beautiful sky, youth like [G]fire in his eyes
[D]He gave his life for noth[A]in'
[Bm]No, nothin' at all, they said
[G][D][A]

[Verse 7]
[Bm]So many years and the [G]pain it still remains
[D]And now her daughter's
[A]man will sail away
[Bm]Politics and promises fore[G]ver the same
We [D]take away and sacri[A]fice
what [Bm]we cannot replace
[G][D][A]

[Verse 8]
[G]And every generation
[Bm]makes [A]the same mistakes
[G]And still they send their sons
[Bm]away to do the [A]same
[G]And the mothers cry[D] and[F#m]
the daugh[Bm]ters die [A]inside
And [G]the sons like the fathers
Now the sons and the daughters
[Bm]March

[Interlude 2]
[G][D][A][Bm][G][D][A]
[Bm][G][D][A][Bm][G][D][A]

[Verse 9]
[Bm]Buffalo in the winter, bitte[G]r as it is
Is home [D]for [A]thr[Bm]ee generations of widowe[G]d brides"
