Intro: 

Em7 - Cadd9 - D - Cadd9


Verse:

         Em7                       Cadd9 
soldier: they settled dust in your hair
D                      Cadd9
to watch you shake and shout it out.
Em7              Cadd9
with our armaments bared
D                        Cadd9  
we shed our bags and travel alls.


Em7               Cadd9 
D                            Cadd9
he comes in the chang and the chariot
Em7                    Cadd9 
and all his eunuchs in thrall
D                           Cadd9   
can scarce lift his line and lariat.


Chorus:

B
here com loose his hounds
A         
to blow me down. 
                         E      E A A E
chorus of waifs: blow me down.    
B                  
soldier: on this stretch of ground
A         
i'll lay me down.
                  G#
chorus of waifs: lay me down.
            F#
soldier: to sleep.

Verse:

          Em7                  Cadd9                
chaplain: and now stricken with pangs
     D                       Cadd9 
that tear at our backs like thistle down
Em7                     Cadd9
the mirror's soft silver tain
D                         Cadd9  
reflects our last and birthing hour
