[Verse 1]
Em G
When the wars of our nation did beckon
Am B7
E man barely twenty did answer the call
Em B7 Em
Proud of the trust that he placed in our nation. He is gone.
C Am B7
But eternity knows him and it knows what we've done.
[Verse 2]
Em Am B7
And the rain fell like pearls on the leaves of the flowers
Em Am B7
Leaving brown muddy clay where the earth had been dry
Em B7
And deep in the trench he waited for hours
C Am B7
As he held to his rifle and prayed not to die
[Verse 3]
Am Em
But the silence of night was shattered by fire
Am Em
As guns and grenades blasted sharp through the air
Am Em
One after another his comrades were slaughtered
G Am B7
In a morgue of marines, alone standing there
[Verse 4]
C Am Em
He crouched ever lower, ever lower in fear
C Am Em
They can't let me die, they can't let me die here
C Em
I'll cover myself with the mud and the earth
C B7
I'll cover myself, I know I'm not brave!
Em Am B7
The earth, the earth, the earth is my grave

[Outro]
Em G
The grave that they dug him had flowers
Am B7
Gathered from the hillsides in bright summer colours
Em Am B7
And the brown earth bleached white at the edge of his gravestone
Em
He is gone…
