[Verse 1]
       D            C         G           A
It was just after sunrise 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.
[Verse 2]
     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 headed for home
     Em         Bm      C  G  A
                              *
With eleven sad stories to tell.
[Verse 3]
    C            G              Em         Bm
I remember quite clearly when I got out of bed
         C             G          Em D/F# G   A
I said, "Oh, good morning. What a beauti--ful day."
[Outro]
