Christmas in the Trenches

     D       D/C#    D/B      D/A     My name is Francis Tolliver,    

G D/F# Em I come from Liverpool,

A7 G/B A7/C# Two years ago the war was waiting

G D/F# D For me after school.

D D/C# D/B D/A To Belgium and to Flanders

G D/F# Em To Germany to here

A7 G/B A7/C# D I fought for King and country I love dear.

A7 G/B 'Twas Christmas in the trenches

A7/C# G D/F# D Where the frost so bitter hung,

Bm Bm/A Frozen fields of France were still,

G D/F# A7sus No Christmas song was sung,

A7 D D/C# D/B D/A Our families back in England

G D/F# Em Were toasting us that day,

A7 G/B A7/C# D Their brave and glorious lads so far a- way.
