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.
