C          G          Am F                G
They told all the fine young men When this war is over

C    Em      Am      F                           G
There will be peace   and the peace will last for ever

F      G       C    F                     G
Then on Flanders Plain At the Somme and at Givenchy

    C             F            C             F
For King and for country, For honour and for Duty

      C                   F                     G
The young men fought and cursed and wept and died


I have changed the Battle Names from the original as I got it off a
Dodgy tape and couldnt make out the Australian Battle locations.Hope
this serves the purpose though . Cracking song isnt it ??

This is the title track of Carolyn Robson's c.d. from Reiver Records, 70 Burnt hill Road,Lower Bourne, Farnham, Surrey, GU10 3LN. Better still, e-mail Carolyn at
Her website is at http://freespace.virgin.net/carolyn.robson
I know I have some backers when I recommend the total album content to all who enjoy folk music.
