Capo: 3
Able Baker Harvey Andrews Capo:III This was recorded by Harvey Andrews on his 1980 vinyl album Margarita (Beeswing Records). There is a YouTube video of him singing this song at Acoustic Routes Cambridge in 2007 (search for 'Harvey Andrews Acoustic Routes' as the song title is not in the video title). He plays it with the capo at fret 3 and uses the chords of the key of G but in the video recording his tuning seems to be about a quarter tone down. Watch out for the slight change of pattern in the second lines of verses 6 and 7. Intro: play the chords of the first verse
There Ghasn't been much to Ddo for a long time CSomeone Gwon the Dwar they Gsay But he Cwon't give thanks to Gyou for Emthinking A7 We're far better Doff that way
For he Gwore the wings and the Drunway waited CSpitfire Gflies like a Dbird of Gprey CHeinkels come agGain for Emhunting A7 As they did that Dfar off May
And he Grummages through all the Dbooks in view The Cbelts, the Gbadges, after Dsomething Gnew He Creads the novels to reGmind him Emwhen A7 He fought beside the Dbest of men
GGhosts and shades that Dhaunt the memory CWords he Ghears but Dcan't recGall A Cplace that brings a Gface beEmfore him A7 Names upon a Dbillet wall
GOne more year and the Dboys reunion CFinds aGnother Dface not Gthere C Still he wears the Gfaded Emribbon A7 Of the Cross and the DCroix de Guerre
And he Gflies again with the Dboys in blue The GFew remaining of the Cvery Gfew He Ctells the tales that he's Gtold beEmfore And heA7 feels again the esDprit de corps
With hiGs victory roll and a Dmounting toll He's a Gfighter pilot with an Caces Gsoul He Cdrinks with boys who will Gsoon be Emmen And he A7wakes at dawn, he Dflies again And he fGlies....C..... agGain D
