This is a pretty close transcription and the phrasing of the words and chords used by 'The Corries', Davey Arthur and The Fureys (and many others) who have covered this song. Eric Bogle's is actually quite different. Nice job with this one. Eric Bogle himself explains a couple of nice things here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqVGshDc-CM
The Jimmy (report)
The line from the first verse: "I hope you died well and I hope you died clean" Should read "I hope you died quick and I hope you died clean"

Not actually a traditional song. Was written by Eric Bogle, who also wrote "And the band played Waltzing Matilda"
Cheers.

V3 continued
but here in this graveyard it's still no man's land
the countless white crosses in mute witness stand
to man's blind indifference to his fellow man
and a whole generation who were butcherd and damed
chico the man (report)
V3 should read
the sun shining down on these green fields of france.
the warm wind blows gently, and the red poppies dance.
the trenches have vanished long under the plough
no gas and no barbed wire, no guns firing now
