	G	D	Db	G	E	G
They	're sending the	old	man h	om	e,

	G	D	Db	D	A	D
Back	where the bu	ffal	o roa	m,

	C	A	D	G	F#	E
Out	in th	e Pacif	ic, they	say h	e was the	best,

	A	D
Now he	's in his civvies, headin' h	ome like all the rest.

	G	D	Db	G	E	G
He'l	l never fo	rget	Rosa	Le	e,

	G	C	G	C
Or s	leepless nights he f	ought	upon the	sea.

* C A D G F# E

He'll only have the memories, or great books by James Jones,

	A	D	G
'Cause	they're sending the	old man hom	e.

	C	G	A	D
Far	away... Far	away... Anothe	r life so very far a	way.

They'll tear down the officer's clubs,

And write off the overdue subs,

So let's drink to their memories, our heroes, and our pals,

To those crazy Navy fliers, to those swell Hawaiian gals.

The sailors will dance in the street,

Then they'll mothball the whole damn fleet,

We'll only have the picture books,

Of land, and sea, and foam,

'Cause they're sending the old man home.

(Coda)

He'll only have his memories, or great books by James Jones,

'Cause they're sending the old man home.

(This is a beginner's arrangement, so it is probably full of

errors, but the lyrics are correct. It is a great ballad though...)
