Chords for Hold the Line

We were farm boys in the spring [G] of fourteen
[F] A few miles from mother's doors
[G] Furthest I'd ever [F] been in one short month of training
[C] And we're off to [G] foreign shores [D] to hold [G] the line _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ And [F] now a year's gone by
And I've never [G] let my mind [F] count the minutes of these murders
And the brothers now [G] behind
[F] We'll all go home by Christmas
[C] The weather will be [Dm] kind
Will you hold [G] the line?
_ _ [Dm] _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ Your [F] mask protects you
From the [G] poison yellow smoke
They [F] will time their charge to take you
When they think the [G] line has [F] broken
None of them expecting
[C] We got their [G] trenches [D] mined
And we'll [Am] hold the [G] line
_ _ _ [F] _ _
[Am] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] They send us out to murder [C] in the empty [G] foreign fields
[Dm] There's crimson [Am] in the umber
[G] Of a kind that doesn't yield
[F] Our youth gave in to anger
[Am] Our shoulder to the [G] toil
A million [F] names and [G] faces
In a mile [A] of bloody [C] soil
_ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] Have I been here a lifetime
Or just these thousand [D] horrid days? _
_ _ _ [F] Will the guns ever go silent?
_ Will the wind [G] of time erase the [F] scars upon the battlefield?
The wound [G] within our [Dm] mind
While we [Am] hold [G] the line _ _
[Dm] _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ And [F] all the faces that have come and gone
While in this [G] tomb I've grown _
_ _ _ [F] The one I've come to like the least
The one [A] that is my own
_ _ _ [F] For within this bloodied hero
[C] A murderer [G] you find
[Dm] And you _ [Am] hold the [G] line
_ _ _ [A] _ Hold the [G] line
