Tabs
I saw only one chords for this song but it was not in correct order.
So I made this. It is my first work and done by ear. So will be glad
if you send me any correction or anything.
If you think that some chords don't belong there try listen to the song very
carfully and you might hear them. Or just skip them.
Enjoy!

Writes his mother back home in Brighton
[ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]
But he ain't got much to say
[ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]
He's forgotten what his town looks like
[ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]
The smell of death is all around
[ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]
He dreams of the blue Atlantic
[ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]

Though the road was long and winding
[ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]
Many snares lay in their path

Tell their wives that they fought bravely

As they lay them in their graves
[ch]D[/ch]
As the train pulled in the station
[ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]
And the families gathered 'round
[ch]D[/ch]
You could hear the first car echo
[ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]
With a loud triumphant sound
[ch]D[/ch]
But the last car it was silent
[ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]
They listened close but they couldn't hear
[ch]D[/ch]
It was laden down with coffins
[ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]
That didn't speak and couldn't cheer
