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
