War Is Hell on the Homefront
TG Sheppard
Tabbed by Kane Smith (heyitskane at yahoo.com)

Intro chords:  E

Verse:  
E
It was July hot in Georgia in 1942   
A
All the men were off to war
                             E 
and the women had nothing to do
E                              
I was 16 and hungry, lookin’ for my first taste of love
       B
When I brought her groceries to her door 
                          E
I didn’t know how close I was

    E
Her long blonde hair was flowing, and she smelled like sweet perfume
A
When I laid her groceries down,
                                    E
she said you don’t have to leave so soon
E                                                       
A woman sure get lonely when her man’s gone off to fight
    B
She reached out for my tremblin’ hand,
                         E 
As tear drops filled her eyes
        B
And she said....


Chorus:
E
War is hell on the homefront too
A
God only knows what a woman goes through
B                                              E
She still needs what her man that’s gone can’t do
E                            
I can’t fight this fire alone
A                           
Stay with me until it’s gone
B                                  E
Ooh, war is hell on the homefront too



*Step up a half-step and play as follows, or simply capo first fret*


Verse: 
        F                                                  
It was July hot inside me as she led me to the bedroom door
     A#
The satin sheets and pleasure
                            F 
I never knew I could feel before
F                               
My first taste of lovin’, was everything it shoulda been



         C                        
When a woman’s fightin’ loneliness
                         F
It’s a battle she can’t win
F
I’ll always remember what she did and what she said
        C                        
But the one thing I remember most
C                                     
Is the way she turned his picture over
C                              F
Face down on the table by her bed
             C
And how she said



Chorus:
F
War is hell on the homefront too
A#                                       
God only knows what a woman goes through
C                                              F
She still needs what her man that’s gone can’t do
F                             A#
I can’t fight this fire alone
A#                          
Stay with me until it’s gone
B                                  F
Ooh, war is hell on the homefront too

Repeat chorus 2x to fade
