My nCame is C/BPrivate Joe AmCarpenter,
F | C | C/B |
The 51st Rifles in France
'n' CI'm here to C/Bpick up the pAmieces of people
They Fleft when the armys' adGvanced
The Dmrats here grew fat on the fAmlesh of My comrades
RFotting out in No Man's LGand
Now I'm Dmtrying to give some poor old Ambugger His name back
F | C | C/B |
When all I can find is His hand
NGovember 11th they Amrung out the bells
The cFrowds hit the streets as they sCilenced the shGells
'n' GI bet Old Lloyd George was Amproud of Hisself
F G | C ..
Bet He wern't digging graves on November the 12th
.. | C/B | Am | Am |
| F | F | C | G |
CMy Brother C/Bdied up in AmWipers last winter
F | C | C/B |
He’d signed up as soon as He could
Now Cbits of His C/Bbody lay bAmuried forever
In Ften foot of Passchendaele Gmud
'n' Dmthere in't no graveside My AmMother can mourn at
And SFhe cries out into the Gnight
She Dmsays "That His death is a Ammessage from Heaven,
That FGod never meant Us to fCight"
NGovember 11th they Amrung out the bells
The cFrowds hit the streets as they sCilenced the sGhells
'n' GI bet Old Lloyd George was Amproud of Hisself
F G | C ..
Bet He wern't digging graves on November the 12th

I was dCigging some pC/Blace when I Amcome face to face -
F | C | C/B |
With two unblinking eyes staring back
It gCive Me a fC/Bright, by some tAmrick of the light.
Christ, I Fswear that it looked like Our JGack
But Dmit was some German boy bAmarely sixteen
I sFtood there and whispered a pGrayer
I Said: “You Dmweren’t ever really My Amenemy Son,
No, He’s Fsat in some office someCwhere”.
NGovember 11th they rAmang out the bells
And Fcrowds hit the streets as they sCilenced the shells
And GI hope all warmongers Amrot down in hell
F | G | G | G | G | C ..
'cause I’d make ‘em dig graves on November......the 12th
.. | C/B | Am | Am |
