Verse 1

	G	D	C
	August in Mildura,	and winters on th	e run,

	G	D	C	D
	there?s an early taste of springtime,	in the warm mid-morning su	n.

	G	D	C
	As the men marched past from first to la	st, the crowds cheer ev	eryone,

	Am	D	Am	D	G
a	nd war seems somehow very far away, on this sunny	dedicati	on day.

	G	D	C
	They marched to a memorial,	built by and for their	own,

	G	D	C	D
	a simple wall of remembra	nce of brick and steel	and stone.

	G	D	C
	With the names inscribed of those that died and	to those that had made it home,

	G
wit	h a debt of love and honor to repay, had all gathered there on dedication day.

Chorus

	G	D	C
	It?s dedicat	ion day,

	G	D	C
	It?s dedicat	ion day.

Verse 2

	G	D	C
	There was a concert held that evening me and oth	ers sang our songs,

	D
while th	e boys drank beer and reminisced, laughed and clapped and sang along.

	G	D	C
	As I was standing there with my guitar, just wa	iting to go on,

	D	G
a man grabbed my arm an	d said please w	ould you play a, song for my mate Hans this dedication day.

Verse 3

	G	D	C
	He asked me to sing welcome home, and	I saw tears in his eyes,

	G	D	C	D
	I knew there was a story there	, but I did not want to pr	y.

	G	D	C
And then he said to me	, I want that song you see, for this	morning my mate died,

	D	G
	faced with his	grief there was nothing I could say, so I sang for Hans on dedication day.

Chorus

	G	D	C
	It?s dedica	tion day

	G	D	C
	It?s dedica	tion day

(Piano solo)

Verse 4

	G	D	C
	They say that Hans took his own life, but I do	n?t know if that?s t	rue,

	G	D	C	D
	but if it is that?s no sur	prise, too many Vietnam vetrans do.

	G	D	C
	Only those who were there, can know the despair and t	he pain that he went through,

	G
for who can	understand it more than they, those who knew the cost of dedication day

Verse 5

	G	D	C
	Though that Asian wars long over, there still	burying their dead

	G	D	C	D
yet som	ehow the bond grows stronger, with each b	roken thread

	G	D	C
	What poison stole and two hands sol	d to taint the years ahead

	G
In tha	t war so long ago and far away until they died of wounds on dedication day.

Chorus

	G	D	C
	It's dedica	tion day

	G	D	C
	It's dedica	tion day

(Repeat until fade out)
