C 
Walter Kittredge's
song,
Tenting Tonight on the Old Camp Ground,
is a masterpiece of melancholia,
expressing both the soldiers'
fears of battle
and the weariness of those
left at home.
Doubtless it was often
sung as it is here,
with the simple accompaniment
of a lone banjo.
We're tempting tonight
F 
C 
on the old campground,
Dm

Give us a song to cheer our weary hearts,

Many are the hearts

that are weary tonight

Many are the hearts looking for the right

To seek the dome of     peace.

Dending on the old campground.
