The Candle That Burns Ukulele chords by John Edmond

Chords with lyrics

Key: C

Intro:
C Cm D7 C# C Cm C D7 C C#

Verse 1:
  C      F      G     C
The sands of the desert were cruel and stark
          F      G       C
They burned in the day and they chilled in the dark
         Em       G     Am
On that vast battleground on the eve of the fight
  Fm        G
The candle that burns inspired them that night.

Verse 2:
  C      F     G      C
The brine of the ocean was freezing and cold
        F      G     C
The boys became men and the men became bold
            Em     G      Am
But they died just the same in the damp and the wet
  Fm             G
The candle that burns will not let us forget.

Chorus:
  F      C      F      C
The candle that burns in the chapel will be
    D            G
Left to burn in the chapel of a world that is free.
    C     Am    Dm     G
Do not cry little one, for no-one will take
  Fm            C       G
The candle that burns on your first birthday cake.

Verse 3:
  C      F      G       C
The sky was not meant to be shattered that way
          F     G     C
With shells that exploded the night into day
          Em      G     Am
And each time they returned on a wing and a prayer
  Fm          G
The candle that burns was welcoming there.

Verse 4:
  C     F      G     C
The beaches remain and the red poppy blooms
          F      G      C
The sands they have shifted and covered the tombs
          Em      G     Am
Of the boys resting there in the earth and sea
  F  Fm         G
The candle that burns is to their memory.

Chorus:
  F      C      F      C
The candle that burns in the chapel will be
    D            G
Left to burn in the chapel of a world that is free.
    C     Am    Dm     G
Do not cry little one, for no-one will take
  Fm            C       G
The candle that burns on your first birthday cake.
