       D            C         G           A
It was just after sunrise and down by the sea

Em          Bm               G            A
Down on the sand flats where nothing will grow

     D            C              G        A*
Come drumming and footsteps like out of a dream

          Em           Bm           A*
Where the golden green waters come in.

     D          C            G                A
Just nine lucky soldiers had come through the night

Em           Bm          G         A
Half of them wounded and barely alive

     D            C         G          A
Just nine out of twenty was headed for home

     Em           Bm        C   G   A*
With eleven sad stories to tell.

    C            G              Em         Bm
I remember quite clearly when I got out of bed

         C             G          Em D/F# G   A
I said, "Oh, good morning. What a beauti--ful day."
