Randy Newman – Song For The Dead (Guitar)

Em7           Em    Gmaj7
Deep in the field a lone soldier stands

      Em7        Em      C
With mud on his boot and blood on his hands

     Em7          Em    Gmaj7
They left him behind to bury the dead

       C                                            D  Em
And to say a few words on behalf of the leadership

Em                   D
Pardon me, boys if I sleep off my pack

    Em        Em7        C
And sit for a while with you 

    G                   B7                           Em     Em7        
I'd like to explain why you fine young men had to be blown apart

   C 
To defend this mud hole

    G                             B7 
Now our country, boys though it's quite far away

             Em     Em7     C
Found itself jeopardized, endangered, boys

   G                    B7 
By these very gooks who lie here beside you

Em      Em7     C
Forever near, forever
