This is my first tab, but I'm pretty sure that this is %100 correct. Email me
if you think there is something wrong with it at mackorone@gmail.com.
Enjoy.

Note: All F chords should be played as Fmaj7 in the song, unless otherwise 
noted. Just continue the last chord if there is no chord noted, until a 
chord change. Also all of the chord changes are correct in timing relative 
to the words. Lastly, just listen to the song for the strumming pattern.

CAPO 3

INTRO: C

C                    F  G    Am   G/B C                   
Born on the plains a farmers sons and brothers the same
F      G  Am G F Em    G         F      G
raised on promises we'd stay that way

   C                F  G    Am G/B  C  
As boys we believed summers at the sea we were free 
   F G    Am  G  F    Em  G       F      G
to become men of good will side by side

            F         Am  C            G/B  F
And we were children then footprints in the sand
                    Am       C          G/B  F
and where the ocean bends we made our promises

BREAK: C Am G

C               F   G   Am G/B C  
Duty soon calls nineteen forty-three we enrolled
  F G    Am G     F Em  G       F       G
together we would be our families pride

            F         Am       C        G/B  F
And we were soldiers then our bodies in the sand
                           Am        C          G/B  F
and like that sand through our hands go our grandest plans
                                    Am      G                F(not maj7)
and just to see you face for one moment I'd cross the ocean again
C   F   G  F  G Am F    G
the end is not the end

    F    C  G  Am   F       C   G Am  F
and I'll be by your side on the other side
         C  G  Am   F       C   G Am  F      G
and I'll be by your side on the other side

                F         Am       C           G/B  F
And through the cloud of death we find our way back home
                        Am  C          G/B  F
and though I hold your hand all must go alone
                                  Am       G                  F(not maj7)
and when you see the face of our maker you don't have to be ashamed
C   F     G  F    G   Am F      G
he knows the promises we made

    F    C  G  Am   F       C   G Am  F
and I'll be by your side on the other side
         C  G  Am   F       C   G Am  F
and I'll be by your side on the other side
