War Is Hell On The Homefront Too
Recorded by T.G. Sheppard
Written by Curly Putman, Bucky Jones, Dan Wilson

C
It was July hot in Georgia in 1942   
F
All the men were off to war
                             C
and the women had nothing to do

I was 16 and hungry lookin’ for my first taste of love
       G7
When I brought her groceries to her door 
                          C
I didn’t know how close I was

    
Her long blonde hair was flowing 

And she smelled like sweet perfume
F
When I laid her groceries down
                                    C
she said you don’t have to leave so soon

A woman sure gets lonely when her man’s gone off to fight
    G7
She reached out for my tremblin’ hand
                         C
As tear drops filled her eyes
        G7
And she said
 
C
War is hell on the homefront too
F
God only knows what a woman goes through
G7                                             C
She still needs what her man that’s gone can’t do

I can’t fight this fire alone
F
Stay with me until it’s gone
G7                               C
Ooh war is hell on the homefront too


It was July hot inside me as she led me to the bedroom door
    F
The satin sheets and pleasure
                            C
I never knew I could feel before

My first taste of lovin’ was everything it shoulda been
         G7
When a woman’s fightin’ loneliness
                         C
It’s a battle she can’t win


I’ll always remember what she did and what she said
        G7
But the one thing I remember most

Is the way she turned his picture over
                              C
Face down on the table by her bed
            G7
And how she said

Repeat #3 x2
