C#m E B F#m
Here I stand in a land that isn't my own
C#m E B F#m
Far from the country that I know as home
C#m A B C#m
I was sent here by government armed by the King
A E F#m B
And I'm told I must kill men in order to bring
C#m A B
Peace to this foreign land
C#m E B F#m
There he lies on a land no longer his own
C#m E B F#m
In the grey of the country that he knows as home
C#m A B C#m
He was sent here by government, but he might not agree
A E F#m B
And if someone must kill him God why is it me?
C#m A B
To bring peace to this foreign land
Chorus
E B
Don't despise the deserter
C#m A
Don't despise the deserter
E F#m
Don't despise the deserter
A B
Who ran from the war
E B
Don't despise the deserter
C#m A
Don't despise the deserter

Who ran from the war.

C#m E B F#m
So I bent down to drag him away from the wire
C#m E B F#m
But the rifles to the left of me started to fire
C#m A B C#m
He was riddled with bullets, I was smothered in blood
A A F#m B
And I don't see how murdering somebody could
C#m A B
Bring peace to a foreign land
C#m E B F#m
So I ran from the fighting threw down my gun
C#m E B F#m
And I ran by the moon and slept by the sun
C#m A B C#m
Now arrested by government and charged by the King
A E F#m B
To be shot 'cos I can't kill in order to bring
Bn A B
Peace to a foreign land

The chord runs marked Intro, Inter & Ending are very much my interpretation of an amazing section of
violin lead.
It works and sound reasonable.
