For our king and our country and the promise of glory
We came from Kingston and Brighton to fight on the front line
Just lads from the farms and boys from the cities
Not meant to be soldiers we lay in the trenches
D#m E
We’d face the fighting with a smile-or so we said
D#m C# |
If only we had known what danger lay ahead
The sky turned to grey as we went into battle
On the fields of Europe young men were fallin’
I’ll be back for you someday-it won’t be long
If I can just hold on ’til this bloody war is over
Припев:
F# H F# H F# H F# H
The guns will be silent on Remembrance Day
There’ll be no more fighting on Remembrance Day
By October of ’18 Cambrai had fallen
Soon the war would be over and we’d be returnin’
Don’t forget me while I’m gone far away
Well it won’t be long ’till I’m back there in your arms again
Припев
Бридж:
E H/D#5
One day soon – I don’t know when
Hm/D F#/C# D#m
You know we’ll all be free and the bells of peace will ring again
The time will come for you and me
We’ll be goin’ home when this bloody war is ended
