[Intro]
AOn July 31st 1943 a bloody round in the battle for the Solomon Islands Was being fought in the tangled jungle of the island of New Georgia
This is the story of one of the young men who fought and died there
AThis song is respectfully dedicated to those heroic infantrymen Who like Rodger Young have sacrificed their lives
That their nation might remain forever free [Verse 1]
Caught in Eambush lay a company of Ariflemen Just greEnades against machine guns in the Agloom Caught in Dambush till this one of twenty AriflF#memen VolunAteered volunEteered to meet his Adoom GVolunAteered ERodger AYoung Gfought and Adied Emfor the Amen he Gmmarched F#mamong AIn the Deverlasting courage of the AinfanF#mtry Ewas the cAourage of EPrivate Rodger AYoung
[Verse 2]
On the Eisland of New Georgia in the ASolomons Stands a Esimple wooden cross alone to AtellA7 That Dbeneath the silent coral of the ASolF#momons Sleeps a Aman sleeps a man reEmembered Awell GSleeps a Aman ERodger AYoung Gfought and Adied Emfor the Amen he G#mmarched F#mamong AIn the Deverlasting glory of the AinfanF#mtry Elives the Astory of EPrivate Rodger AYoung
I used e-chords and ChordU for this, but neither was entirely correct. I am still not happy with the G#m F#m chord progressions in each stanza's "marched among." I've spent a few hours on this, and it's just not exact. I would be quite pleased if someone were able to find the exact chord that he sings.
