Hi Sol
Chords are taken straight from the piano score,
so trial and error to see which ones can be left out?
Quite a few and it still works.

Key C & Split common time

1 [C] Ma-[G7]-ny [C] men came here as [G7] soldiers,
Many men will pass this [C] way,

As [Ab7] they [G7] live the longest [C] day

Many men are here to stay,
Many men won't see the sunset,
When it ends the longest day

   Marching on right into battle,
   In the longest day in history
