Sappers Lullaby – Fred Smith


Verse 1:
C majorC               G+G            G+G            D MajorD      C majorC          G+G      D MajorD
Up past from the Role 2, and down past the gate, out to the flight line
C majorC                G+G     G+G           D MajorD      C majorC         D MajorD        G+G
We stood in the sun, slouch hat and gun as two caskets passed us by

C majorC               G+G          G+G              D MajorD         C majorC            G+G   D MajorD
We  followed the Padre, onto the Herc. And out into the pale summer sky
C majorC                  G+G       G+G               D MajorD       C majorC             D MajorD            G+G
We walked back to Poppy's, and went back to work, with the Dust still in our eyes

Chorus:
C majorC      G+G     G+G     D MajorD   C majorC            G+G   D MajorD
So soldiers, sing me, a sapper's lullaby
C majorC            G+G          G+G                  D MajorD
You give it your all,  Knowing if you should fall
C majorC            D MajorD            G+G
That all good things must die


Verse 2:
C majorC             G+G          G+G                D MajorD         C majorC            G+G   D MajorD
These young engineers, whose job is to clear the roads that we may pass
C majorC             G+G         G+G                 D MajorD        C majorC     D MajorD      G+G
Always out front, and when they bear the brunt, man it happens fast

C majorC         G+G          G+G          D MajorD     C majorC            G+G   D MajorD
Sapper D MajorD Smith had a wife and a son, the apple of his eye
C majorC         G+G       G+G     D MajorD    C majorC      D MajorD      G+G
Snowy Moreland was just 21, way to young to die


Chorus:
C majorC      G+G     G+G     D MajorD   C majorC            G+G   D MajorD
So soldiers, sing me, a sapper's lullaby
C majorC            G+G          G+G                  D MajorD
You give it your all,  Knowing if you should fall
C majorC            D MajorD            G+G
That all good things must die


Verse 3:
C majorC                 G+G      G+G           D MajorD     C majorC      G+G        D MajorD
So go call your mother, call your old man, on the welfare line
C majorC                G+G      G+G           D MajorD      C majorC        D MajorD            G+G
Tell em you love em, while you still can, cause all good things must die


Chorus:
C majorC      G+G     G+G     D MajorD   C majorC            G+G   D MajorD
So soldiers, sing me, a sapper's lullaby
C majorC            G+G          G+G                  D MajorD
You give it your all,  Knowing if you should fall
C majorC            D MajorD            G+G
