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

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

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