Intro

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

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

The chord runs marked Intro, Inter & Ending are very much my interpretation of an amazing section of
violin lead.
It works and sound reasonable.
(Waltz time. By the way)
