[Verse 1]
Bm D
When the wars of our nation did beckon
Em F#7
B man barely twenty did answer the call
Bm F#7 Bm
Proud of the trust that he placed in our nation. He is gone.
G Em F#7
But eternity knows him and it knows what we've done.
[Verse 2]
Bm Em F#7
And the rain fell like pearls on the leaves of the flowers
Bm Em F#7
Leaving brown muddy clay where the earth had been dry
Bm F#7
And deep in the trench he waited for hours
G Em F#7
As he held to his rifle and prayed not to die
[Verse 3]
Em Bm
But the silence of night was shattered by fire
Em Bm
As guns and grenades blasted sharp through the air
Em Bm
One after another his comrades were slaughtered
D Em F#7
In a morgue of marines, alone standing there
[Verse 4]
G Em Bm
He crouched ever lower, ever lower in fear
G Em Bm
They can't let me die, they can't let me die here
G Bm
I'll cover myself with the mud and the earth
G F#7
I'll cover myself, I know I'm not brave!
Bm Em F#7
The earth, the earth, the earth is my grave

[Outro]
Bm D
The grave that they dug him had flowers
Em F#7
Gathered from the hillsides in bright summer colours
Bm Em F#7
And the brown earth bleached white at the edge of his gravestone
Bm
He is gone…
