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

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

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