Probably best if you listen to the song for timings as its quite difficult at times.
Ab Eb Db Sending the first scouts over Ab Eb Db Back from the place beyond the dawn: Ab Eb Db Horse, bear your broken soldier Ab Eb Db Eyes frozen wide at what went on Ab Eb Db And Time, in our camp, is moving Ab Eb Db As you'd anticipate it to Ab Eb Db But what is this sample proving? Ab Eb Bb Db Anecdotes cannot say what Time may do

C Bb Ab G I kid with Rufus Night-jar Fm Ab When our men are all asleep: C Bb Ab G It ain't about how rare you are Fm Ab But how hard you are to see Eb Ab Db Take, you and me— F C "When are you from?" said he Am G In our blind of winter leaves F#m G As we sighted out their fliers F#m G In the greyscale of the night F#m G And fumbled on the bare ground F#m G To bury round landmines A F# Bm C D Bb While the deeeeeew lay down and dried
D Bb D Bb C
C Bb Ab G We signal Private Poorwill Fm Ab When morning starts to loom: C Bb Ab G "Pull up from your dive!" till, Fm Ab Eb Ab Db We hear the telltale boom too soon, hotdogging loon, F C Am G caught there Like a shard of mirror in the moon! F#m G Now they've stopped giving orders F#m G But I follow anyway F#m G Laying in our state of torpor F#m G Waiting out the day A F# Bm C D Bb While the deeeeeew burns away

Fm Eb Bb Db Rushing, tearing, speeding home: Fm Eb Bb Db Bound to a wheel that is not my own Fm Eb Bb Db Where round every bend I long to see Fm Eb Bb Db Temporal infidelity Fm Eb Bb Db All along the road, the lights stream by Fm Eb Bb Db I want to go where the dew won't dry Fm Eb Bb Db I want to go where the light won't bend— Fm Eb Bb Db Far as the eye may reach—nor end Fm Eb Bb Db But, inasmuch as that light is loaned Fm Eb Bb Db And, insofar as we've borrowed bones Fm Eb Bb Db Must every debt now be repaid Fm Eb Bb Db In star-spotted, sickle-winged night raids Fm Eb Bb Db While we sing to the garden, and we sing to the stars Fm Eb Bb Db And we sing in the meantime wherever you are? Fm Eb Bb Db In the folds and the branches somewhere out there Fm Eb Bb Db I was only just born into open air Fm Eb Bb Db Now hush, little babe, you don't want to be Fm Eb Bb Db Down in the trenches remembering with me Ab Eb Db Where you will not mark my leaving Ab Eb Db And you will not hear my parting song Ab Eb Db Nor is there cause for grieving Ab Eb Bb Nor is there cause for carrying on Ab Eb Db And daughter, when you are able Ab Eb Db Come down and join! The kettle's on Ab Eb Db And your family's round the table Ab Eb Bb Db Will you come down, before the sun is gone?
