Here is Sullivan, the acoustic version as it was originally written.
Turn up your radios really loud.
And two, and I'll go my shoe [F#] safe.
[G]
[G]
It's not hard to reach back to the day underneath an Iowa sun
[Em] Running to the tower of Waterloo
[G] Looking for the Sullivan train to come
[Em] And here's my voice, we run to the top
Salute him as he went [D] by
[Bm] First we'd wave [D] hello
[A] Then we'd wave [G] goodbye, daddy goodbye
[G]
Well it's [Em] not hard to reach [G] back to the days
After the attack on Pearl
[Em] And overnight my [G] buddies turned into men
Running [D] out of time for games and girls
And [Em] the Sullivan boys [G] were not overlooked
Uncle Sam were calling each by name
The [Em] very next day [D] they left on a [A] mystery train
[E] So say [Bm] goodbye, bye [D] bye, Mrs.
[G] Sullivan
[D]
[Bm] And don't you cry, cry, [D] cry, [C] cry, cry
[Bm] We regret to [D] inform you the Navy [F#] is keeping your sons [G] away
We're [Bm] all five, [A] five, five, [F#] five
So keep your blue star in the window
[G]
Well [Em] it's not hard to reach back to [G] her smile
[G] When she'd [C] receive a letter
[Em] And the letters they sounded [G]
generally the same
It said they couldn't be home
At least they were [E] together on a [G] mighty fighting battleship
Somewhere in the South Pacific
No [Em] their letters, they never [D] got much more [A] specific
So say [Bm] goodbye, bye [A] bye, Mrs.
[A] Sullivan
[D]
[Bm] And don't you cry, cry, [D] cry, [G] cry, cry
[Bm] We regret to [E] inform you the Navy is keeping your sons [C] away
We're [G] all five, five, [D]
five, [E] five
So [Bm] keep your blue star in the window
[A]
[Bm] Keep [G] them in the [Em] window
[Bm] [A]
[Bm] [C]
It's not hard to reach back to the day
[G] When the war [A] finally came home
[Bm] Uncle Sam he'll send you a telegram
So [G] he doesn't have [D] to tell you [A] over the [E] phone
I [Bm] heard she cracked up when they found out what a war it caused
[C] When [B] all five of [D] her boys were [A] lost
They were, they were, they were, they were
They all say [Bm] goodbye, bye [A] bye, [G] Mrs.
Sullivan
[D]
[F#] Don't you cry, [G] oh go [D] ahead and [G] cry
[D]
[Bm] You see, [Bm] we regret to [D] inform you that your [E] sons have passed [G] away
All [Bm] five, five, [D] five, [B] five
So change [G] your [E] blue star to gold
[G]
Blue star [Bm] to gold
Oh blue stars
[G]
Oh the blue stars
Change them to gold
Change them to gold
I said change them to gold
Change them to gold
[E] [C] [B]
