Intro

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

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