Soldiers

James Taylor (c) 1971

A -

D C G A

It was just after sun-rise and down by the sea

Em Bm G A

down on the sand flats where nothing will grow

D C G A

come drumming and footsteps like out of a dream

Em Bm A -

where the golden green waters come in.

D C G A

Just nine lucky soldiers had come through the night

Em Bm G A

half of them wounded and barely alive

D C G A

Just nine out of twenty was a-headed for home

Em Bm C G A -

with eleven sad stories to tell.

C G Em Bm

I remember quite clearly when I got out of bed

C G Em A G A.

I said, "Oh, good morning. What a beautiful day."
