Remember Me

      D                          A
Oh, I am the Unknown Soldier who died in World War Two.
  G                                D                 G
I didn't want to fight, it was the only thing to do.

                      D
E|was| the victim of a world that went insane-- 

         G              D      A      D
Will you show me that I didn't die in vain.

             G                          D
    Remember me, when the crosses are a burnin',
             A                          D
    Remember me, when the racists come around.
             G                               D
    Remember me, when the tides of peace are turnin',
             A      G            D   A  D
    Remember me and please don't let me down.

            D                        A
On the South Pacific Islands and the Iwo Jima sands
   G                                 D
We raised the flag of freedom over many distant lands
                                      D
And every time I killed a man my own heartfelt the pain--
           G              D     A       D
Will you show me that I didn't die in vain.

              G                          D
    Remember me, when the crosses are a burnin',
             A                          D
    Remember me, when the racists come around.
             G                               D
    Remember me, when the tides of peace are turnin',
             A      G            D   A  D
    Remember me and please don't let me down.

       D                           A
And I carried my old rifle to the European shore
      G                             D
And every friend that died made me die a little more.
                                   D
Have pity on the man who put a bullet through my brain
     G              D     A       D
And show me that I didn't die in vain.

             G                          D
    Remember me, when the crosses are a burnin',
             A                          D
    Remember me, when the racists come around.
             G                               D
    Remember me, when the tides of peace are turnin',
             A      G            D   A  D
    Remember me and please don't let me down.
           D                              A
When the Fascists started marching many millions had to pay;
         G                         D
We saw them rise to power but we looked the other way.
                                     D
It happened once before and it can happen once again--
          G              D       A      D
Will you show me that I didn't die in vain.

             G                          D
    Remember me, when the crosses are a burnin',
             A                          D
    Remember me, when the racists come around.
             G                               D
    Remember me, when the tides of peace are turnin',

    Remember me and please don't let me down.
