Song For The Dead

Intro:  Em7  Em (2X)

Em7           Em    Gmaj7
Deep in the field a lone soldier 
stands
      Em7        Em      C
With mud on his boot and blood on 
his hands
     Em7          Em    Gmaj7
They left him behind to bury the 
dead
       C                           
And to say a few words on behalf of
                 D  Em
 the leadership

Em                   D
Pardon me, boys if I sleep off my 
pack

    Em        Em7        C
And sit for a while with you

    G                   B7     
I'd like to explain why you fine 
                      Em     Em7
young men had to be blown apart
   C
To defend this mud hole
    G                             
Now our country, boys though it's 
B7
quite far away
             Em     Em7 
Found itself jeopardized, 
    C
endangered, boys
   G                    B7
By these very gooks who lie here 
beside you
Em      Em7     C
Forever near, forever

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
