When they sound the last All Clear

How happy my darling we'll be

When they turn up the lights,

And the dark lonely nights
E7 A7
Are only a memory.
D A7 D D7
Never more we'll be apart,

Always together, sweetheart.

For the peace bells will ring,

And the whole world will sing,
Em A7 D Em A7
When they sound the last All Clear.

We've got our troubles and we've got our cares,

There'll come a day when the clouds roll away,
E7 A7 A
And the sun will be shining anew.
