[Verse 1]
Am                 G            G               Am            Am
  It is so cold in Shiloh Town,   the birds can hardly sing,
Am                   G               D
  pretty girls gonna leave the town,
D      D                  Am        G      Am      Am
  they won't be back 'til spring.

  The war has been won, they've come back home   but they're the ones that lost,
Am                  G               D
  I see a man and a woman alone,
D                  Am        G      Am      Am
  was it worth the cost?

[Chorus]
Am             G      G                  Am
I'll sing hallelujah,   you'll sing hallelujah,
Am               G            D
  we'll all sing hallelujah
D                     Am      G     Am      Am
  when they arrive at home.

[Verse 3]
Am                 G          G                   Am
  Sun is out, it's hot today,   children all come out to play,
Am               G
  some are quick   to come back home,
D         D              Am        G      Am      Am
  others,   have gone to stay.
