        C majorC      G+G      G minorGm                    D MajorD

His last night was spent in the ground of the French land; with thousands of men he did wait.

He laid down his head upon the barrel of his gun, a dark and cruel symbol of his fate.

An overpowering thunder from the creeping barrage left no room for thoughts within their minds.
               G+G          G minorGm                D MajorD
Forty pounds loaded down, the horror lingered on imprinted in their memories for all time.

His lucky streak had come and now had passed.

He lay waiting for the stretcher bearer to come.

The cold wind froze the clothes to his body.
               G+G                      D MajorD
Disbelief came over him “This couldn’t really be for I am now a young man still with dreams!”
