Capo 2

D...

      D       
I was falling dead in battle

D              G                         D
Must have been Tuesday, I don't know the date

       Bm                  G
I gave everything everyone asked for

   G                       D
But I'll say where I'll be laid

D7                  G 
The many dead of my comrades

G                         D
All look the same in this place

          D                G      D
Won't you bury me far from my uniform

   D            A        D
So God might remember my face


Bridge: 

     D                G      D
Just bury me far from my uniform

         G                  D
From the iron cross medal I would've worn

         G                        D
From the statues that sisters and widows mourn

         G                      D
From the newspaper clippings in micro-form

        G                   D
From Geneva, the Hague, and Nuremberg

         D                           G
From the sex of this world that I'll no longer taste

          D                       G
Won't you bury me far from my uniform

   D            A        D
So God might remember my face
