I have the chords to this one too, but I'm afraid I will mess it up again. How about if I put the chord immediately before the word is falls upon? Here we go:
The Faded Coat of Blue

D7 My G brave lad he D7 sleeps in his G faded coat of blue,
In a D7 lonely grave unknown lies the G heart that C beat so G true;
He sank faint and D7 hungry a-G-mong the famished brave
and they D7 laid him sad and lonely with-G-in his D7nameless G grave, G7


C No more the G bugle D7 calls the weary G one,
C Rest noble G spir-G#it, A7 in thy grave un-D7known!
I'll G find you and C know you a-Em-mong the good and G true
When a Am7 robe of white is D7 Giv'n for the Gfaded D7 Coat of G blue.


There are five verses in this book. Do you have the melody?
