Song For The Dead
Intro: Em7 Em (2X)
[Em7]Deep in the fi[Em]eld a [Gmaj7]lone soldier stands
With m[Em7]ud on his b[Em]oot and [C]blood on his hands
They [Em7]left him behi[Em]nd to [Gmaj7]bury the dead
And to [C]say a few words on behalf of the leadership[D] [Em]
[Em]Pardon me, boys if I [D]sleep off my pack
And [Em]sit for a [Em7]while with [C]you
I'd [G]like to explain why [B7]you fine young men had to be [Em]blown a[Em7]part
To [C]defend this mud hole
Now [G]our country, boys though it's [B7]quite far away
Found itself [Em]jeopard[Em7]ized, en[C]dangered, boys
By [G]these very gooks who [B7]lie here beside you
[Em]Forever [Em7]near, fo[C]rever
We'd like to express our deep admiration
For your courage under fire and your willingness to die
For your country, boys we won't forget
We won't forget
