D5  E5             D5  E5
Deep in the field 
  D5  G5                D5  G5
A lone soldier stands
     D5 E5             D5  E5
With mud on his boots 
    D5   C5              D5  *C5
And blood on his hands
     D5  E5             D5  E5
They left him behind 
   D5 G5            D5  G5
To bu--ry the dead
       C5 [see tab for extra voicings]               G5 G5  B5  E5
And to say a few words on behalf of the leadership    [see tab]

G5                    D5
Pardon me, boys if I slip off my pack
    E5       E5       C/9
And sit for a while with you 

    G5                   B5             D#5         E5  E5       
I'd like to explain why you fine young men had to be blown apart
   C5 
To defend this mud hole

    G5                             B5      D#5 
Now our country, boys though it's quite far away
             E5 E5     C5
Found itself jeopardized, endangered, boys

   G5          G5       e          E5 
By these very gooks who lie here beside you
A94 A5            D5  D5    D79  D5
Fore---ver near, fore-------ver

     G5                   B5    D#5 
We'd like to express our deep admiration
         E5     E5  C/9
For your courage under fire 

         G5    B5   E5    E5          C5    C5       
And your willingness to die        for your country, boys 
   D5
We won't forget ...
   D5   E5        D5  E5     D5 C5     D5 C5   
We won't forget                      (siren)
