[Intro] (humming to verse chords)
C      Gsus4   C        G
C      Gsus4   C      F C
Gsus4  C       Gsus4    C
C      Gsus4   Csus2    C
[Verse 1]
C                  Gsus4
It was just before dawn one miserable
C                      Gsus4
Morning in black Forty-Four
         C                     Gsus4
When the forward commander was told to sit tight
        C                     F/C C
When he asked that his men be withdrawn
Gsus4                        C
       And the Generals gave thanks as the other ranks
Gsus4               C
Held back the enemy tanks for a while
        C                    Gsus4
And the Anzio bridgehead was held for the price
     C           Gsus4    C
Of a few hundred ordinary lives
[Verse 2]
C                   Gsus4                C
  And kind old King George sent Mother a note
                   Gsus4
When he heard that Father was gone
C             Gsus4                  C
  It was, I recall, in the form of a scroll
     C         F/C C
With gold leaf and all
Gsus4                    C
      And I found it one day
                   Gsus4                C
In a drawer of old photographs, hidden away
       C                         Gsus4
And my eyes still grow damp to remember
            C               Gsus4      C
His Majesty signed with his own rubber stamp
[Verse 3]
C                  Gsus4                         C
  It was dark all around, there was frost in the ground
                      Gsus4
When the Tigers broke free
C               Gsus4
  And no one survived
                   C           F/C C
From the Royal Fusiliers Company   Z
Gsus4                      C
      They were all left behind
             Gsus4                  C
Most of them dead, the rest of them dying
C                    Gsus4
  And that's how the High Command
        Cmaj7sus4Gsus4 C
                 N.C.
Took my daddy           from me
