John Gorka – Where No Monument Stands (Guitar)

Am          C               G              D       Am 
This is the field where the battle did not happen

              C          G        D  Am
Where the unknown soldier did not die

            C          G             D      
This is the field where grass joined hands

        G         D
Where no monument stands

        C       G        D         G
And the only heroic thing is the sky

        C       G        D         G    C   D   C
And the only heroic thing is the sky

          D                C
Birds fly here without any sound

                D                 C
Unfolding their wings across the open

          D         G                     C
No people killed, or were killed, on this ground

            Am            C       D
Hallowed by neglect and an air so tame that

C          Am         C               D
People celebrate it by forgetting its name

Am          C               G              D       Am 
This is the field where the battle did not happen

              C          G        D  Am
Where the unknown soldier did not die

            C          G             D      
This is the field where grass joined hands

        G         D
Where no monument stands

        C       G        D         G
And the only heroic thing is the sky

        C       G        D         G 
And the only heroic thing is the sky
