Verse 1
D 
It was July hot in Georgia in 1942
G 
All the men were off to war
D 
and the women had nothing to do
I was sixteen and hungry,
looking for my first taste of love
A 
When I brought the groceries to her door,
D 
I didn't know how close I was
Her long blonde hair was flowing,
and she smelled like sweet perfume
G 
When I laid the groceries down,
D 
she said you don't have to leave so soon
A woman sure gets lonely
when her man's gone off to fight
A 
She reached out for my trembling hand
D 
as the teardrops filled her eyes
A 
Then she said,
D 
war is hell and a home from two
G 
God only knows what
a woman goes through
A 
She still needs
D 
what a man who's gone can do
I can't fight this fire alone,
G 
stay with me until it's gone
A 
D 
Eb 
Ooh, war is hell on the home front too
It was July, hot inside me,
ash led me to the bedroom door
Ab 
Satin  sheets and fleshers,
Eb 
I never knew I could feel before
My first taste of lovin'
was everything it should have been
Bb 
But when a woman's
fightin' loneliness,
Eb 
it's a battle she can't win
I'll always remember what
you said and what you did
Bb 
But the one thing I remember most
is the way she turned his picture over
Eb 
Face down on the table by her bed
Bb 
And as she said
Eb 
War is hell and a home from two
Ab 
God only knows
what a woman goes through
Bb 
She still needs
Eb 
what a man who's gone can do
I can't fight this fire alone
Ab 
Stay with me until it's gone
Bb 
Eb 
Ooh,  war is hell on the home front, too
War is hell on the home front, too
Ab 
God only knows
what a woman goes through
Bb 
She's doing this for a man who's gone,
Eb 
can't you?
I can't fight this fire alone
Ab 
Stay with me until it's gone
Bb 
Eb 
Ooh,  war is hell on the home front, too
War is hell on the home front too
Ab 
God only knows what a
woman goes through
Bb 
She still needs
Eb 
what a man who's gone can do
