Verse 1:
C                     F                     G
On a sunny April morning
C               F           G
My dear son, you were born
C                               Am
Until one day you were called away
Am                              C
And from my heart was torn

Verse 2:
C                               G
As a boy, you knew the stables
C                                       F
As a lad, you knew the fields
G               C           F         G
My son, you worked beside me
Am              F               G
But to country, you must yield

Refrain:
Am                              C       G
You were called to serve the country
Am                              C       G
You were called to serve the king
G               Am                      F
And from our home, you left one day
Am              C          G
And of this, today I sing
Am     F     G      C    G    C     F   G    Am
G     C

Verse 4:
C                               F
When I stood there at the station
C                       F           G
And our eyes, one last time met
C                   Am          C
It was at that moment, my dear son
Am                      C
'Tis that I'll ne'er forget

Verse 5:
C                       F
Is it now a mother's blessing
C                           G
That the country's truly free?
Am                                F
You gave your life for all of us
Am              G
And all humanity
C   F    C    F    G   C   G   Am   G   C  Am
C   Am    G   C   G   Am   G    Am    G   Am
G   C

Verse 6:
C                               G
As I stand here at your graveside
C               F                  G
The spring birds sing their song
C                               Am
My child, I love you more and more
Am              G               C
And will my whole life long

Refrain:
C                       Am              G
You were called to serve the country
G                       C             G
You were called to serve the king
Am                      F
And from our home, you left one day
F                       C
And of this, today we sing

C   F   G   C   Am     C   Am   C   Am    C
Am   C   G   Am   C    Am   F   G
