Intro: 
D   G  D A D 
D   G  D A D 

G                     D             A                     Bm 
 Long years would be lost and over since the morning train, 
G                       D 
 And the words that he called out to her,  
  F#                Bm 
 "I'll be back again! 
         G                  D 
 We will all be home for Christmas boys, 
        A                   
 It's what the General said", 
Bm           G                 D 
 But little did they know the winds of war, 
         Em                    A 
 Would change the world instead, 

  D                   G         D    A 
 Oh, in this one life, there is one love, 
D                     G         A    D 
 Through the ages to be with us evermore, 

G               D          A                 Bm 
 He played his part a hero on the battlefield, 
G                    D 
 'Til a shell burst right beside, 
       F#                    Bm 
 And brought him to his knees, 
          G                 D 
 As the blood just flowed away, 
                A  
 He turned his face up to the sky, 
Bm             G               D 
 And a little boy was there beside him saying, 
   Em                  A 
 "Daddy, please don't die", 

  D                   G         D    A 
 Oh, in this one life, there is one love, 
D                     G         A    D 
 Through the ages to be with us evermore, 

    G  D A D 
D   G  D A D 

G                    D                    A                 Bm 
 No-one knew how he made it through, and soon was on the way, 
G                  D 
 With the wounded back to England, 
       F#                Bm 
 And from the early train,  
             G               D                A                    
 He stepped down and in the distance saw his wife and a little boy, 
Bm            G             D 
 Who came up running to his arms and said, 
      Em             A 
 "My Daddy has come home", 

  D                   G         D    A 
 Oh, in this one life, there is one love, 
D                     G         A    D 
 Through the ages to be with us evermore, 
G        D    A   
 In this one life, 
D                         G 
 Love of a different world, 
          D    A   D 
 There is one love.
