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

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