DGEmDAD
Born in the plains a farmer’s sons and brothers the same
GEmDABmF#ADA6
raised on promises we’d stay that way
DGEmDAD
As boys we believed summers at the sea we were free
GEmDABmF#AGA6
to become men of good will side by side
GABmDG
And we were children then, foot prints in the sand
GABmDGDBmA6
And where the ocean bends we made our promises. He knows.
DGEmDADGEmDABmF#
Duty soon called, nineteen forty three we enrolled together we would be our
AGA6
family’s pride.
GABmDG
And we were soldiers then, our bodies in the sand.
GABmDG
And like that sand through our hands, go our grandest plans.
GABmAG
And just to see your face for one moment I’d cross the ocean again
DGAGADGA6
the end is not th e end.
GDAGGDAG
And I’ll be by your side on the other side
GDAGGDAGA6
I’ll be by your side on the other side.
GABmDG
And through the cloud of death we find our way back home
GABmDG
And though I hold your hand all must go alone
GABmA
And when you see the face of our maker you don’t have to be
GDGAGADGA6
ashamed He knows the promises we made.
GDAGGDAG
And I’ll be by your side on the other side
GDAGGDAG
I’ll be by your side on the other side.
