F# B9 x8
[Verse]
F# B9 F# B9 F# B9 F# B9
For our King and our country and the promise of glory
F# B9 F# B9 F# B9 F# B9
We came from Kingston and Brighton to fight on the front line
F# B9 F# B9 F# B9 F# B9
Just lads from the farms and boys from the cities
F# B9 F# B9 F# B9 F# B9
Not meant to be soldiers we lay in the trenches
[Pre-Chorus]
Ebm E
We'd face the fighting with a smile - or so we said
Ebm C#
If only we had known what danger lay ahead
[Interlude]
F# B9 x4
F# B9 F# B9 F# B9 F# B9
The sky turned to grey as we went into battle
F# B9 F# B9 F# B9 F# B9
On the fields of Europe young men were fallin'
[Pre-Chorus]
Ebm E
I'll be back for you someday - it won't be long
Ebm C#
If I can just hold on 'til this bloody war is over
[Chorus]
F# B9 F# B9
The guns will be silent
F# B9 F# B9
On Remembrance Day
F# B9 F# B9
There'll be no more fighting
F# B9 F# B9
On Remembrance Day
[Interlude]
F# B9 x4
F# B9 F# B9 F# B9 F# B9
By October of '18 Cambrai had fallen
F# B9 F# B9 F# B9 F# B9
Soon the war would be over and we'd be returnin'
[Pre-Chorus]
Ebm E
Don't forget me while I'm gone far away
Ebm C#
Well it won't be long 'til I'm back there in your arms again
[Chorus]
F# B9 F# B9
The guns will be silent
F# B9 F# B9
On Remembrance Day
F# B9 F# B9
There'll be no more fighting
F# B9 F# B9
On Remembrance Day
[Bridge]
E5 Eb5
One day soon - I don't know when
D5 C#5 D5 Eb5
You know we'll all be free and the bells of peace will ring again

The time will come for you and me
D5 C#5
We'll be goin' home when this bloody war is ended
[Interlude]
F# B9 x4
[Chorus]
F# B9 F# B9
The guns will be silent

We'll all say a prayer

On Remembrance Day
[Interlude]

Say a little prayer
