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

Don't despise the deserter
Cm G#

Don't despise the deserter
G# A#
Who ran from the war

Don't despise the deserter

Don't despise the deserter

Who ran from the war.

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