[Verse 1]
      Cm
Where dead men lies I'm paralyzed,
my brothers' eyes are gone
Fm              Eb
And he shall be buried here,
Bb
nameless marks his grave
Cm
Mother home,
get a telegram and shed a tear of grief
Fm                Eb
Mud and blood, in foreign land,
   Bb
trying to understand

[Pre-Chorus]
Fm              Eb                  Bb
  Where is this greatness I've been told?
Fm            Eb                   Bb
  This is the lies that we've been sold
Ab          G
  Is this a worthy sacrifice?
Ab G Ab G

                 I'm standing here, I'm full of fear,
     Eb     Bb    Cm
with bodies at my feet
Fm                Eb
Over there in the other trench,
Bb
bullets wear my name
Dm
Lead ahead,
                        F         C    Dm
as the captain said and show them no remorse
Gm          F           C
Who am I to understand? What have I become?

[Pre-Chorus]
Fm        Eb              Bb
  I do my duties, pay the price
Fm            Eb          Bb
  I'll do the worthy sacrifice

  I know my deeds are not in vain

  And feet by feet
           Bb
We pay the price of a mile here
Ab
  Though men were falling,
       Eb     Bb
we see heroes rise
Ab
  We face the heat
          Bb
As we are fighting until the dawn
Ab                         Bb        G/B      Cm
  So follow me and we will write our own history
