You may only use this file for private study, scholarship, or research. # #------------------------------------------------------------------------------## From: [email protected] (Jeremy Aston) =================== By the Levellers - From the album "Levelling the Land" ------------------------------------------------------ This is a great song. Simple to play (like most of the Leveller's stuff), but is enhanced by adding rythmic hammer-ons and pull-offs in the latter stages. Listen to the song and get into it... Intro +++++ Am G F G Am G F G Verse 1 +++++++

    Am
    Gunshots shatter in the peace of night

         G
    It's just another firefight

            F                     G
    For the people of this little town

        Am
    But for the dying soldier

              G
    Well he's feeling ten years older

            F                      G
    As he's lying face down on the ground

    Am
    All the words that are in his head 

        G
    And all the words that his mother said

       F                             G
    As she would put him to bed back home

Chorus ++++++

    C                  G           Am
    Your Daddy when he died in the Falklands

    C        G    Am
    Fighting for another man's cause

             C              G             Am
    And your brother he was killed in the last war

             C                  G          Am
    And your mother, well she's lying home alone

Verse Two +++++++++ G F G Am G F G

    Am                    
    Everyday she sees your face 

           G
    On the picture on the fireplace

              F                         G
    With your brother as he was leaving school

           Am
    Then a day came five years ago

             G
    You said "Mother, I need to know"

            F                                    G
    And you spoke the words your brother spoke before

    Am
    "I know the things my Daddy done

             G
    And I've seen the medals that he's won

          F                               G      G   Am
    And I know this is what he would have wanted for me

G Am CHORUS ++++++ Bridge ++++++

    F       G             Am  G
    Now she wonders at it all

    F             G              Am                G
    Just in whose name, do these brave young heros fall

        F        G              Am          G
    And how many more are gonna answer that call

                  F         G       Am               G
    They're gonna fight and die in another country's war

                  F           G               Am          G
    They're gonna die for a religion didn't believe in at all

                  F        G                 Am            
    They're gonna die in a place they should never been at all

        Am
    Oh, never been at all
