any corrections.

(Verse Pattern)
A E
Where have all the young men gone?
A D
They’re leaving town one-by-one
A E
Johnny come and get your gun
A D A
Father give your on-ly son
(Verse Pattern)
Fearlessly they lay down their lives
Son don’t be afraid to die
You’re fighting for the land that you love
Yeah, yeah, fighting for your god up above
When the bullets fall upon you like rain
And the starry night is burst into flame
Remember you’re the few, you’re the brave
Remember what you’re fighting to save
(Chorus Pattern)
I know, you’ll be coming home soon
The war is over, it was on the evening news
Nobody’s winning when it’s life we have to lose
I know, you’ll be coming home soon, coming home soon.
(Break, A with slightly reggae-ish rhythm)
(Verse Pattern)
Victory can be bittersweet
Insurrection in the street
It never comes without a price
And never without sac-ri-fice
The suicidal bombs in their cars
wrap em up in stripes and stars
Johnny boy is comin’ home
For a soldier’s bur-i-al
When the bullets fall around you like rain
And the starry night is burst into flame
Remember you’re the few, you’re the brave
Remember what you’re fighting to save
(Chorus Pattern)
I know you’ll be coming home soon
The war is over, it was on the evening news
Nobody’s winning when it’s life we have to lose
I know, you’ll be coming home soon, coming home soon.
I know you’ll be coming home soon.. coming home soon
The war is over, it was on the evening news
Nobody’s winning when it’s life we have to lose
I know, you’ll be coming home soon, coming home soon.
Coming home soon…
(Verse Pattern)
finish with strummed A
