Capo 2

D...

      D5       
I was falling dead in battle

D5              G5                         D5
Must have been Tuesday, I don't know the date

       B5                  G5
I gave everything everyone asked for

   G5                       D5
But I'll say where I'll be laid

D5                  G5 
The many dead of my comrades

G5                         D5
All look the same in this place

          D5                G5      D5
Won't you bury me far from my uniform

   D5            A5        D5
So God might remember my face


Bridge: 

     D5                G5      D5
Just bury me far from my uniform

         G5                  D5
From the iron cross medal I would've worn

         G5                        D5
From the statues that sisters and widows mourn

         G5                      D5
From the newspaper clippings in micro-form

        G5                   D5
From Geneva, the Hague, and Nuremberg

         D5                           G5
From the sex of this world that I'll no longer taste

          D5                       G5
Won't you bury me far from my uniform

   D5            A5        D5
So God might remember my face
