War Is Hell on the Homefront
TG Sheppard

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
