Intro:
   D  Dsus4/   GAmsus3/ G4x
Verse:
               D  Dsus4/   GAmsus3/G  
Walker sees the mist      rise
    D  Dsus4/    GAmsus3/G  
Over no man's   land
          D  Dsus4/     GAmsus3/G  
He sees in front of    him
            D  Dsus4/   GAmsus3/G  
A smashed up waste     ground
            A  Dsus4/G  
There are no fields or trees
GNo blades of D/F#grass
             D  Dsus4/    GAmsus3/G  
Just unburied ghosts are there
              D  Dsus4/   GAmsus3/G  
Hanging in the wire
    D  Dsus4/   GAmsus3/ G2x
(repeat verse)
Walker's in the wire
Limbs point upwards
There are no birds singing
The white cliffs of Dover
There are no trees to swing from
Walker cannot hear the wind
Far off a symphony
To hear the guns beginning
A   Em7/A  G6  D/F#
   D  Dsus4/  GAmsus3/ G4x
BmWalker's D/Ain the mist
Dsus4/  G  D/F#  
Rising 
   Bm    D/A  Dsus4/  G  D  
Over no   man's    land
     Bm        D/A  Dsus4/  G  D/F#  
In the battered waste    ground
      Bm    D/A  Dsus4/  G  D  
The big guns firing
   D  Dsus4/   GAmsus3/ G4x
D
