Strawbs – Where Silent Shadows Fall (Guitar)

                    C
The valiant soldier smiles

                    Dm7
The lady lowers her eyes

                    C
The battle has been won

                    Dm7
With no sense of surprise

                     C
She questions not at all

                      Dm7
The valiant soldier’s prize

                      C
The valiant soldier’s prize

    F      Em        Dm7     G
For all of those who fail to hear

    Dm7    C      F     G
The silent hero’s call

   Dm     C         F        G
We honour those who face themselves

      F      G       Csus4
Where silent shadows fall

                    C
The valiant soldier hears

                     Dm7
From far and distant lands

                  C
The piper’s sad lament

                      Dm7
He feels his mother’s hands

                  C
When all are in retreat

                    Dm7
The valiant soldier stands

                    C
The valiant soldier stands

    F      Em        Dm7     G
For all of those who fail to hear

    Dm7    C      F     G
The silent hero’s call

   Dm     C         F        G
We honour those who face themselves

      F      G       Csus4
Where silent shadows fall

                    C
The valiant soldier calls

                   Dm7
The public purse denies

                    C
He sadly shakes his head

             Dm7
Weary of the lies

                    C
Who never knows his child

                    Dm7
The valiant soldier dies

                    C
The valiant soldier dies

    F      Em        Dm7     G
For all of those who fail to hear

    Dm7    C      F     G
The silent hero’s call

   Dm     C         F        G
We honour those who face themselves

      F      G       Csus4
Where silent shadows fall
