First tab, sorry if it's a bit wrong! I think it's more accurate than the version on
here already, the only thing to note is the F is a single strum, which goes quickly into
the C. If you listen to the song, you'll know what I'm talking about.
CIt was just before dGawn
One miserable mCorning in black 'forty four.
When the forward commander
Was tGold to sit tight
When he aCsked that his men be wFithdraCwn.
CAnd the Generals gave tGhanks
As the other ranks hCeld back
The enemy tanks for a while.
And the Anzio bridgehead
Was hGeld for the price
Of a Cfew hundred ordinary lives.
CAnd kind old King GGeorge
Sent Mother a nCote
When he heard that father was gone.
CIt was, I recGall,
In the form of a scCroll,
With gold leaf aFnd aCll.
CAnd I found it one dGay
In a drawer of old pChotographs, hidden away.
And my eCyes still grow damp to remGember
His Majesty sCigned
With his own rubber stamp.
CIt was dark all around.
GThere was frost in the ground
CWhen the tigers broke free.
CAnd no one survGived
From the Royal FusiliCers Company FC. C
CThey were all left behiGnd,
Most of them dCead,
The rest of them dying.
CAnd that's how the HGigh Command
Took my dCaddy from me.
