Song For The Dead
Intro: Em7 Em (2X)
Em7Deep in the fiEmeld a Gmaj7lone soldier stands
With mEm7ud on his bEmoot and Cblood on his hands
They Em7left him behiEmnd to Gmaj7bury the dead
And to Csay a few words on behalf of the leadership D Em
EmPardon me, boys if I Dsleep off my pack
And Emsit for a Em7while with Cyou
I'd Glike to explain why B7you fine young men had to be Emblown aEm7part
To Cdefend this mud hole
Now Gour country, boys though it's B7quite far away
Found itself EmjeopardEm7ized, enCdangered, boys
By Gthese very gooks who B7lie here beside you
EmForever Em7near, foCrever
We'd like to express our deep admiration
For your courage under fire and your willingness to die
For your country, boys we won't forget
We won't forget
