D E7 A
If you're English or German or French,
D E7 A
And your heart's 'cross the sea -- to a trench,
7 C#7 F# 7
While you're sympathising, you wonder who'll be,
E B7 E B7 E B7 E
The hero of the biggest war in history,
When the guns are laid away,
7
and Peace has come to stay
B7 E (7)
Whose name will be famous that day?
CHORUS
D F° A (A°) A
Is it Hindenburg or Juffre
7 E7
Who will wear a hero's crown!
Bm D
Who will be the one, Just like Washington,
C#m C# 7
When the European war is done,
D F° A (A°) A
In my mind there's just one hero,
7 E7 D (Bb° Bm)
Woodrow Wilson's name will live forevermore,
C#7 Bm D#° F#° A 7 (F#7)
For there's no doubt of it, he kept us out of it,
B7 Bm E7 A
And he's the hero of the European war.
If you love the American flag,
Ev'ry Yankee should start -- in to brag,
For we have a hero in the U. S. A.
Whose name and fame will live forever and a day,
And we'll have him four years more,
within the White House door,
To keep us a Peace as before.
[Campaign of 1916 Theme song for Woodrow Wilson. Words by Al. Dubin, Music by Joseph A. Burke and George B. McConnell (1916)]
