If you think that some chords don't belong there try listen to the song very
Now the Dfog and smoke is lifting
From the Dfallen row on Arow
In D1861 the prayed for DGod to keep their Asouls
JDimmy left home in April
That was one Dyear to the Aday
WDrites his mother back home in Brighton
But he Dain't got much to Asay
He's forgGotten what his town Dlooks like
The Asmell of Gdeath is all AaroundD  A  
He dGreams of the blue AtDlantic
To Aonce aDgain be hoGmewaDrd bAound
Homeward Dbound
Though the Droad was long and winding
AMany Dsnares lay Gin Dtheir Apath
But Dtheir struggle they saw as righteous
AThe fought with Dmight and Gstuck Dwith Awrath
Chorus:
Now the bGattle hymns are pDlaying
RAeport of Gshots not far AwaysD  A  
No Gprayer, no promise, no Dhand of AGod
