Soldiers
James Taylor (c) 1971
A -
D C G A
It was just after sun-rise and down by the sea
Em Bm G A
down on the sand flats where nothing will grow
D C G A
come drumming and footsteps like out of a dream
Em Bm A -
where the golden green waters come in.
D C G A
Just nine lucky soldiers had come through the night
Em Bm G A
half of them wounded and barely alive
D C G A
Just nine out of twenty was a-headed for home
Em Bm C G A -
with eleven sad stories to tell.
C G Em Bm
I remember quite clearly when I got out of bed
C G Em A G A.
I said, "Oh, good morning. What a beautiful day."
