Вступление
[Verse]
It was July hot in Georgia in 1942
All the men were off to war
and the women had nothing to do
I was 16 and hungry, lookin? for my first taste of love
When I brought her groceries to her door
I didn?t know how close I was
Her long blonde hair was flowing, and she smelled like sweet perfume
When I laid her groceries down,
she said you don?t have to leave so soon
A woman sure get lonely when her man?s gone off to fight
She reached out for my tremblin? hand,
As tear drops filled her eyes
And she said....
[Chorus]
War is hell on the homefront too
God only knows what a woman goes through
She still needs what her man that?s gone can?t do
I can?t fight this fire alone
Stay with me until it?s gone
Ooh, war is hell on the homefront too
*Step up a half-step and play as follows, or simply capo first fret*
[Verse]
It was July hot inside me as she led me to the bedroom door
The satin sheets and pleasure
I never knew I could feel before
My first taste of lovin?, was everything it shoulda been
When a woman?s fightin? loneliness
It?s a battle she can?t win
I?ll always remember what she did and what she said
But the one thing I remember most
Is the way she turned his picture over
Face down on the table by her bed
And how she said
[Chorus]
War is hell on the homefront too
God only knows what a woman goes through
She still needs what her man that?s gone can?t do
I can?t fight this fire alone
Stay with me until it?s gone
Ooh, war is hell on the homefront too
