D/E  Em             D/E  Em
Deep in the field 
  D/G  G                D/G  G
A lone soldier stands
     D/E Em             D/E  Em
With mud on his boots 
    D/C   C              D/C  *C
And blood on his hands
     D/E  Em             D/E  Em
They left him behind 
   D/G G            D/G  G
To bu--ry the dead
       C [see tab for extra voicings]               G4/D G/D  B7/D#  Em
And to say a few words on behalf of the leadership    [see tab]

G                    D
Pardon me, boys if I slip off my pack
    Em7       Em/D       C7M/9
And sit for a while with you 

    G                   B7             D#?         E4  Em/D       
I'd like to explain why you fine young men had to be blown apart
   C 
To defend this mud hole

    G                             B7/D#      D#? 
Now our country, boys though it's quite far away
             E4 Em/D     C7M
Found itself jeopardized, endangered, boys

   G          G/F       e          E7 
By these very gooks who lie here beside you
A94 A            D74  D7    D79  D7
Fore---ver near, fore-------ver

     G                   B7/D#    D#? 
We'd like to express our deep admiration
         Em7     Em/D  C7M/9
For your courage under fire 

         G/D    B7/D#   Em    Em/D          C7M    C6       
And your willingness to die        for your country, boys 
   D
We won't forget ...
   D/E   Em        D/E  Em     D/C C     D/C C   
We won't forget                      (siren)
