Key: D
Introduction:
Am
Death was everywhere,
Em
in the air and in the sounds
D
coming off the mounds of Bolton's Ridge.
A
Death's anchorage.
Am
When you rolled a smoke or told a joke,
Em
it was in the laughter and drinking water
D
it approached the beach as strings of cutters,
A
dropped into the sea and lay around us.
Am
Death was in the ancient fortress,
Em
shelled by a million bullets
D
from gunners, waiting in the copses
A
with hearts that threatened to pop their boxes,
Am
as we advanced into the sun
Em
death was all and everyone.
D A
death was all and everyone.
Gm Dm F Gm
As we, advancing in the sun
Gm Dm F Gm
As we, advancing, every man
Gm Dm F Gm
As we, advancing in the sun
Am
Death hung in the smoke and clung
Em
To 400 acres of useless beachfront
D
A bank of red earth, dripping down
A
Death is now, and now, and now
Am
Death was everywhere,
Em
in the air and in the sounds
D
Coming off the mounds of Bolton's Ridge
A
Death's anchorage
Am
Death was in the staring sun
Em
Fixing it's eyes on everyone
D
It rattled the bones of the Light Horsemen
A
Still lying out there in the open
Gm Dm F Gm
As we, advancing in the sun

As we, advancing in the sun
