 Song For The Dead
 
 Intro: Em7 Em (2X)
 
 Em7           Em    Gmaj7              
 Deep in the field a lone soldier stands
       Em7        Em      C                 
 With mud on his boot and blood on his hands
      Em7          Em    Gmaj7        
 They left him behind to bury the dead
        C                                          D Em 
 And to say a few words on behalf of the leadership
 
 Em                   D                
 Pardon me, boys if I sleep off my pack
     Em        Em7        C  
 And sit for a while with you
 
     G                   B7                           Em     Em7 
 I'd like to explain why you fine young men had to be blown apart
    C                   
 To defend this mud hole
     G                             B7            
 Now our country, boys though it's quite far away
              Em     Em7     C             
 Found itself jeopardized, endangered, boys
    G                    B7                 
 By these very gooks who lie here beside you
 Em      Em7     C    
 Forever near, forever
 
 We'd like to express our deep admiration
 For your courage under fire and your willingness to die
 For your country, boys we won't forget
 We won't forget
