[Verse 1]
C F6
Oh, I've just come from the land of the sun
G C
From a war that must be won in the name of truth
F6
With our soldiers so brave, your freedom we will save
G C
With our rifles and grenades and some help from God
[Chorus]
C
I want to see my family
F6
My wife and child are waiting for me
G
I've got to go home
C
I've been so alone, you see
[Verse 2]
C F6
You just can’t believe the joy I did receive
G C
When I finally got my leave and I was going home
F6
Oh, I flew through the sky and my convictions could not lie
G C
For my country I would die and I will see it soon
[Chorus]
C
And I want to see my family
F6
My wife and child are waiting for me
G
I've got to go home
C
I've been so alone, you see
(Guitar interlude – C F6 G C)
[Verse 3]
F6
When I walked through the door my wife she laid upon the floor
G C
And with tears her eyes did soar, I did not know why
F6
Then I looked into her hand and I saw the telegram
G C
Said that I was a brave, brave man but that I was dead
[Chorus]
C
I want to see my family
F6
My wife and child are waiting for me
G
I've got to go home
C
I've been so alone, you see
C
I want to see my family
F6
My wife and child are waiting for me
G
I've got to go home
C
I've been so alone, you see
