The valiant soldier Csmiles
The lady lowers her Dm7eyes
The battle has been Cwon
With no sense of surDm7prise
She questions not at Call
The valiant soldier’s Dm7prize
The valiant soldier’s Cprize
[Chorus]
For Fall of Emthose who Dm7fail to Ghear
The Dm7silent Chero’s FcallG  
We Dmhonour Cthose who Fface themGselves
Where Fsilent Gshadows Csus4fall
[Verse 2]
The valiant soldier Chears
From far and distant Dm7lands
The piper’s sad laCment
He feels his mother’s Dm7hands
When all are in reCtreat
The valiant soldier Dm7stands
The valiant soldier Cstands
