When a Soldier Makes it Home Harmonica Tabs

This a very moving and powerful song by Arlo Guthrie

Half-way ’round the world to-night
4     4     4    4    6    6   6

In a strange and for-eign land
6  6  6d      6d 6d/6 5d    6

A sol-dier packs his mem-o-ries
6  7    7   7     8d  7d 6d  6

As he leaves Af-ghan-i-stan
5  6    6d   6d 6d/6 5d 6

Back home they don’t know to much
7      7    7    8d  7d   6d  6

There’s just no wa-y to tell
6        6d  6d 6d/6 5d  6

I guess you had to be there
5   4    4   4   4  6   6

For to know that wa-r is hell
5    5  5d   5d  5d/5 4   5

Chorus:
And there won’t be an-y vic-try pa-rades
7     7     7    7  7 7  8  8d   7   7

For those who make it back
6     6d   6d 6d/6 5d  6

They’ll fly them in at mi-d- night
6        7    7   7 8d 7d/6d  6

And un-load the bod- y sacks
5    6  6d   6d 6d/6 5d 6

And the liv-in’ will go walk-in down
6    6   7   7   7   8d  7d  6d   6

A long and lone-ly road
6   6d 6d  6d/6 5d   6

Be-cause no-bod-y seems to care these days
5   4d    4  4 4    4    4   6    6    6

When a sol-dier makes it home.
5    5 5d  5d    5    4d  4
