[Verso 1]

    G 
The moon lights up 
G                    C 
Over the battlefield now 
       C                     G 
With a blistering heat somehow 
G                                   D 
Lifeless limp and broken hearts are dead 
     D                              C 
They should have just stayed home instead 
    C              G 
And stayed alive 
 

[Verso 2]

    G 
A letter arrives 
G                          C 
It glistens a mother's eyes 
    C                          G 
She wonders where, when and why 
    G                            D 
She could have tucked him in his bed 
       D                         C 
With a kiss on his cheek and his head 
C                    G 
 Where he'd still lie 
 

[Refrão]

         Em       D                C 
Well the moon and stars can't cast shadows on what is wrong 
G                 D 
 Our boys are dead 
D               C 
They've been mislead 
C           G 
 Nothin more 
 

[Verso 3]

    G 
The sun light up 
       G                            C 
Brings sparkles in the morning light 
         C                         G 
Rubs her belly, bows her head to cry 
    G                         D 
She lost him before they were wed 
         D                          C 
But he's there in her heart and her head 
C                G 
 He'll stay alive

         Em       D                C 
Well the moon and stars can't cast shadows on what is wrong 
G                 D 
 Our boys are dead 
D               C 
They've been mislead 
C           G 
 Nothin more 
         Em       D                C 
Well the moon and stars can't cast shadows on what is wrong 
G                 D 
 Our boys are dead 
D               C 
They've been mislead 
C           G 
 Nothin more
