[B]
You ask me, stranger, why I made [A] this journey
[E] Why I crossed three thousand miles of ocean [B] waves
Like many others, my loved one was killed in [A] action
And that's why I'm here, I'm [B] searching [E] for his grave
Somewhere here among the [A] many thousands
[E] Of
[E] Americans who all died [B] true and brave
[E] That's where I know I'll find [A] him [E] resting
So I'm here, I'm [B] searching for his grave
Beside each cross mark, here [A] all around me
[E] I'll kneel down [B] and gladly say a prayer
For [E] all their loved ones back home across the [B]
ocean
[A] Whose [E] heart like mine is [B] buried over here
Somewhere here among the [A] many thousands
[E] Of Americans who all died [B] true and brave
That's [E] where I know I'll [A] find him resting
So [E]
I'm here, [B] I'm searching for his [E]
grave
When I come to the spot [A] where he's sleeping
I [E] know it will cause more [B] heartaches inside
But [E] I long to be by his side once more [A] and tell him
[E] Tell him I love him and I will until I die
Somewhere here among the many [A]
thousands
[E] Of
[E] Americans who all died true [B] and brave
[E] That's where I know I'll find [A] him resting
[E] So I'm here, I'm [B] searching for his [E] grave
Thank you,
