IntroDmCDmADmBbFCVerseDm
Hear them whisper,
FCDm
voices from the other side
Hear them calling
ADmBbFC
former foes now friends are resting side by side
Dm
They will never
FCDm
leave our hearts or fade away
Dm
live forever
ADmBbFC
they were far too young to die in such a way
BridgeDmBb
how many wasted lives
FC
how many dreams did fade away
DmBb
broken promises
FC
they won't be coming home
GmEb
Oh mothers wipe your tears
BbF
your sons will rest a million years
GmEb
found their peace at last
BbF
as foe turned to friend
C
and forgive
Bb
And they knew they'd die

VerseDm
Hell is waiting
FCDm
where the ocean meets the sand
Cliffs of burden
ADmBbFC
where the soldiers rushed into a certain death
Dm
At the shoreline
FCDm
Blood of heroes stains the land
light a candle
ADmBbFC
One for each of them who fought and died in vain
BridgeDmBb
There is no enemy
FC
There is no victory
DmBbFC
Only boys who lost their lives in the sand
GmEb
Young men were sacrificed
BbF
Their names are carved in stone and kept alive
GmEbBbFC
and forever we will honour the memory of them
Bb
And they knew they would die
