This is heavily borrowing from the other tab on this site, but I think that the
chord forms sound much better with the capo on 3(I also did some other cleaning up)
Capo 3
Born in the plains a farmer’s sons and brothers the same
raised on promises we’d stay that way
As boys we believed summers at the sea we were free
to become men of good will side by side
And we were children then, foot prints in the sand
And where the ocean bends we made our promises. He knows.
Duty soon called, nineteen forty three we enrolled together we would be G G F G
our family’s pride.
And we were soldiers then, our bodies in the sand.
And like that sand through our hands, go our grandest plans.
And just to see your face for one moment I’d cross the ocean again
the end is not th e end.
And I’ll be by your side on the other side
I’ll be by your side on the other side.
And through the cloud of death we find our way back home
And though I hold your hand all must go alone
And when you see the face of our maker you don’t have to be
ashamed He knows the promises we made.
And I’ll be by your side on the other side
I’ll be by your side on the other side.
