[Verse 1]
Am C
When the wars of our nation did beckon
Dm E7
A man barely twenty did answer the call
Am E7 Am
Proud of the trust that he placed in our nation. He is gone.
F Dm E7
But eternity knows him and it knows what we've done.
[Verse 2]
Am Dm E7
And the rain fell like pearls on the leaves of the flowers
Am Dm E7
Leaving brown muddy clay where the earth had been dry
Am E7
And deep in the trench he waited for hours
F Dm E7
As he held to his rifle and prayed not to die
[Verse 3]
Dm Am
But the silence of night was 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 E7
In a morgue of marines, alone standing there
[Verse 4]
F Dm Am
He crouched ever lower, ever lower in fear
F Dm Am
They can't let me die, they can't let me die here
F Am
I'll cover myself with the mud and the earth
F E7
I'll cover myself, I know I'm not brave!
Am Dm E7
The earth, the earth, the earth is my grave

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