Intro: A5

       D5            C5          G5           A5 
It was just after sun-rise and down by the sea 
E5          B5               G5            A5 
down on the sand flats where nothing will grow 
     D5            C5              G5        A5 
come drumming and footsteps like out of a dream 
          E5           B5           A5 -  
where the golden green waters come in. 
     D5          C5            G5                A5 
Just nine lucky soldiers had come through the night 
E5           B5          G5         A5 
half of them wounded and barely alive 
     D5            C5           G5          A5 
Just nine out of twenty was a-headed for home 
     E5           B5        C5 G5 A5 - 
with eleven sad stories to tell. 
    C5            G5              E5         B5 
I remember quite clearly when I got out of bed 
         C5             G5          E5        A5         G5 A/ 
I said, "Oh, good morning. What a beautiful day."
