CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO:
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC G+G C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
C majorC G+G
The sun was shining on the English Channel
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G
On a ferry off the coast of France
C majorC G+G
And it was summer and a pleasant morning
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G
And high above gulls wheeled and danced
C majorC G+G
And high above the cliffs of morning
C majorC G+G C majorC
The gun emplacements had stood in ranks
G+G C majorC G+G
And I walked over to the railing
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G
And I heard the ghosts of the Calgary Tanks
INSTRUMENTAL:
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G C majorC G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G
C majorC G+G
And I remembered pictures I'd seen
D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G
In history books and magazines
C majorC G+G
Of three men standing, smoking, staring
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G
Among the dead men on a rocky beach
C majorC G+G
And in the light of that pleasant morning
C majorC G+G C majorC
As we sailed under the cliffs above
G+G C majorC G+G
I thought of all their silent prayers
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G
And the final thoughts of the ones they loved
C majorC G+G
That they left behind at prairie stations
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
Waving to their pride and joy
C majorC G+G
Waving to the smiling faces
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G
Smiling faces on the soldier boys
C majorC G+G
No waves of grain will claim the fallen
C majorC G+G C majorC
Just the channel cold and grey as steel
G+G C majorC G+G
And no return to the rolling prairie
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
And a silent cross on a lonely field
INSTRUMENTAL:
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G (2x)
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G C majorC G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G
C majorC G+G
Oh, the sun was shining on the rolling prairie
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G
Far from the channel, cold and grey
C majorC G+G
Shone on the families, friends and lovers
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G
Of the prairie boys who fell that day
C majorC G+G
But they could not know on that sunny morning
C majorC G+G C majorC
The future held for them no joy
G+G C majorC G+G
They'd wait in vain at prairie stations
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G
Wait in vain for their soldier boys
