by Guadalcanal Diary

(VERSE)
       E minorEm     D MajorD    G+G
The sun hangs low in the western sky
 D MajorD   E minorEm     G+G   D MajorD
I bow my head and remember now
A minorAm     E minorEm      D MajorD    G+G
Someone's lips pressed close to mine
 D MajorD   E minorEm   G+G   D MajorD
Her cool hand upon my brow

A minorAm     E minorEm    D MajorD    G+G
Hell burns hot for a killer's heart
 D MajorD    E minorEm     G+G    D MajorD
A augmentedA shallow grave in an unmarked lot
 A minorAm   E minorEm     D MajorD  G+G
Crack of gun; fire in the dark
    D MajorD         C majorC     D*
hand in hand we'll walk at day break
