The Deserter

Вступление

The Deserter

Intro.

D,Em,A,Bm,G,A,D-D,Em,A,Bm,G,Em,A

Here I stand in a land that isn't my own

Far from the country that I know as home

I was sent here by government armed by the King

And I'm told I must kill men in order to bring

Peace to this foreign land

There he lies on a land no longer his own

In the grey of the country that he knows as home

He was sent here by government, but he might not agree

And if someone must kill him God why is it me?

To bring peace to this foreign land

Chorus

Don't despise the deserter

Who ran from the war

Don't despise the deserter

Who ran from the war.

Inter.

D,Em,A,Bm,G,A,D-D,Em,A,Bm,G,Em,A

So I bent down to drag him away from the wire

But the rifles to the left of me started to fire

He was riddled with bullets, I was smothered in blood

And I don't see how murdering somebody could

Bring peace to a foreign land

So I ran from the fighting threw down my gun

And I ran by the moon and slept by the sun

Now arrested by government and charged by the King

To be shot 'cos I can't kill in order to bring

Peace to a foreign land

Chorus

Ending

D,Em,A,Bm,G,A,D-D,Em,A,Bm,G,Em,A,

D,Em,A,Bm,G,A,D-D,Em,A,Bm,G,Em,A,D

The chord runs marked Intro, Inter & Ending are very much my interpretation of an amazing section of

violin lead.

It works and sound reasonable.

(Waltz time. By the way)
