When It's Reveille Time In Heaven
Recorded by Hank Snow
Written by Fred Kirby

C                                                  G7
When they call reveille  reveille in heaven for my boy
                                                           C
He'll stand there smiling too as did for the red white and blue
      C7      F                      C
He'll rest in peace up there for evermore
        D7                         G7
No more fighting like he had to do before
C                                    F
He's just waiting for his mother his dad his sis and brother
         G7                             C
When its reveille time in heaven for my boy

                                            F             D7
All the ranks of marching thousand tramping over heaven's sod
         G7                             C
From the private to the general are the same
                                F             D7
They are everyone equal in this wondrous holy land
     G7                                  C
When reveille's played by heaven’s angel band

Spoken:


When the universe commander takes the great reviewing stand
        F
They are cited one by one as they go by
         G7
They are highly decorated in a robe of glowing white
                                          C
With the promise that our boys will never die


Well there's master sergeant Johnny with his crutches thrown away
    F
His purple heart no longer could be seen
         G7
There my boy stands beside him with a smile upon his face
                                   C
As he receives a blessing from His Grace

Sung:

      C7      F                      C
He'll rest in peace up there for evermore
        D7                         G7
No more fighting like he had to do before
C                                    F
He's just waiting for his mother his dad his sis and brother
         G7                             C
When its reveille time in heaven for my boy
