Keep the Home Fires Burning

Verses:
They were [A] summoned [E7] from the [A] hillside
They were called in [Dm] from the [A] glen
[E7] And the country found them [A] ready,
[E] At the stirring [B7] call for men [ E A E A E ] 
[A] Let no tears add [E7] to their [A] hardship
As the soldiers [Dm] pass [A] along [B7] 
And al-[C#m]-though your heart is [F#m] breaking
Make it [E] sing [G#m] this [F#m] 
cheer-[B7]-y [E] sooo-[F#m]-ooong [E7] 
 
Chorus:
[A] Keep the homes fires [A] burn-[E7]-ing
[F#m] While your hears are [C#7aug] yearn-[C#7]-ing
[D] Though your lads are [A] far a-way
They [B7] dream of [E7] home
[A] There's a silver [A] lin-[E7]-ing
[F#m] Through the dark cloud [C#7aug] shin-[C#7]-ing
[D] Turn the dark in-[A]-side out
[Dm6] 'Till the [A] boys [E7] come [A] home

Verse 2 lyrics:
 
Over seas there came a pleading,
"Help a Nation in distress!"
And we gave our glorious laddies,
Honor made us do no less.
For no gallant Son of Freedom
To a tyrant's yoke should bend,
And a noble heart must answer
To the sacred call of "Friend!"
 
Thought this song would be a fitting tribute to GB after such a fantastic 
Olympics! Roll on Rio!
