[Verse 1]
         Am                    
When the wars of our nation did 
 C
beckon
  Dm                               
A man barely twenty did answer the 
E7
call
Am                         E7    
Proud of the trust that he placed
                      Am
 in our nation. He is gone.
    F                         Dm  
But eternity knows him and it 
             E7
knows what we've done.

[Verse 2]
        Am                         
And the rain fell like pearls on 
  Dm            E7
the leaves of the flowers
        Am                         
Leaving brown muddy clay where the 
Dm             E7
earth had been dry
    Am                             
And deep in the trench he waited 
  E7
for hours
      F                     Dm    
As he held to his rifle and prayed
        E7
 not to die

[Verse 3]
        Dm                  
But the silence of night was 
 Am
shattered by fire
   Dm                        Am
As guns and grenades blasted sharp 
through the air
Dm                    Am
One after another his comrades were 
slaughtered
     C                  Dm  
In a morgue of marines, alone 
           E7
standing there

[Verse 4]
   F                         Dm   
He crouched ever lower, ever lower
    Am
 in fear
     F                            
They can't let me die, they can't 
Dm         Am
let me die here
     F                     Am
I'll cover myself with the mud and 
the earth
     F                            
I'll cover myself, I know I'm not 
E7
brave!
    Am         Dm         E7
The earth, the earth, the earth is 
my grave

[Otro]
    Am                         
The grave that they dug him had 
 C
flowers
Gathered from the hillsides in 
Dm            E7
bright summer colours
        Am                   Dm   
And the brown earth bleached white
        E7
 at the edge of his gravestone
             Am
He is gone…
