Intro: Am7 Am (2X)

Am7           Am    Cmaj7
Deep in the field a lone soldier stands

      Am7        Am      F
With mud on his boot and blood on his hands

     Am7          Am    Cmaj7
They left him behind to bury the dead

       F                                            C  Am
And to say a few words on behalf of the leadership

Am                   C
Pardon me, boys if I sleep off my pack

    Am        Am7        F
And sit for a while with you 

    C                   E7                           Am     Am7        
I'd like to explain why you fine young men had to be blown apart

   F 
To defend this mud hole

    C                             E7 
Now our country, boys though it's quite far away

             Am     Am7     F
Found itself jeopardized, endangered, boys

   C                    E7 
By these very gooks who lie here beside you

Am      Am7     F
Forever near, forever

We'd like to express our deep admiration For your courage under fire and your willingness to die For your country, boys we won't forget We won't forget by: José Duarte [email protected]
