C                     F                     GOn a sunny April morning
C               F           GMy dear son, you were born
C                               AmUntil one day you were called away
Am                              CAnd from my heart was torn

[Verse 2]
C                               GAs a boy, you knew the stables
C                                       FAs a lad, you knew the fields
G               C           F         GMy son, you worked beside me
Am              F               GBut to country, you must yield

[Refrain]
Am                              C       GYou were called to serve the country
Am                              C       GYou were called to serve the king
G               Am                      FAnd from our home, you left one day
Am              C          GAnd of this, today I sing

[Verse 4]
C                               FWhen I stood there at the station
C                       F           GAnd our eyes, one last time met
C                   Am          CIt was at that moment, my dear son
Am                      C'Tis that I'll ne'er forget

[Verse 5]
C                       FIs it now a mother's blessing
C                           GThat the country's truly free?
Am                                FYou gave your life for all of us
