Titel:  One Day We'll See Them
Artist: Alex Campbell
Album:  Folk Friends (1976)
(Alex Campbell)
Orig.: D

 G                      C           G
Darkness is fading, the day it is dawing
    C               G                   D7
The fields they are empty nae workers today
 G                    C               G
Farmers and young men all have been going
   C          G          D7       G
To battles in lands that lie far away

 G                D7                   G
Yet one day we'll see them come by the hillside
             D7          G             D7
Husbands and sons will return to their homes
                    G           C                  G
Yet still my heart grieves the price of the young brides
    C           G               D7       G
The widows and sweethearts left sadly to mourn

 G                              C              G
The call when it came found our menfolk aye ready
 C            G                        D7
Each knew the reasons for war so they thought
 G                          C                  G
Then came the doubting but still they were steady
     C        G           D7            G
Slow dying in cold clay a-cursing their lot

 G                D7                    G
Yet one day we'll see them there on the hillside
                  D7          G           D7
Though knowing in hearts they are but to dream
                 G               C               G
The grief in the long glen, the gloom at the fireside
     C               G              D7        G
Will pass like the springbreeze had never had been
