    G 
I'm arriving on the day's last train 
                                     G7 
Stepping on the platform, trying to see you through the rain 
         C 
I don't know the ways you've changed since I left 
                    G 
and I really don't care 
      D                            C                          G 
I've done my tour of duty now I'm home and I ain't going anywhere 

    G  
I taught myself to tolerate the pain 
                                        G7 
all the loneliness and boredom and the work I did in vain 
         C                                             G 
All the work we did in vain. Now I'm not the same as I was 
       D                            C                       G 
I've done my tour of duty now I'll try to do what a civilian does 

    B/G           C                 G                               
I promise not to bore you with my stories 
    B/G            C                 D 
I promise not to scare you with my tears 
   B/G           C             G 
I never would exaggerate the glory 
              D 
I'll seem so satisfied here

           G              
I've been eating like I'm out on bail 
                                     G7 
Collard greens and chicken wings and oysters by the pail 
       C                                              G 
Eating oysters by the pail, making up for those lost days 
            D                            C                              G 
Cause I've done my tour of duty now I'm going to put you in the family way 



      B/G                 C               G 
We'll laugh like little children telling secrets 
         B/G           C              D 
Probably cry like old women drinking gin 
              G                            C 
because I've done my tour of duty now I'm home 
                           G 
and I ain't leaving here again 
      D                            C                               G 
I've done my tour of duty now I'm home and I ain't leaving here again
