On The Shores of Gallipoli Chords by Alan Brydon

[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ From the mine, the young Churchill, a cunning new [Ab] plan,
_ _ _ [Eb] To launch an offensive _ on Ottoman _
[Bb] land, _ _ _ [Eb] And secure the supply routes with troops
on [Ab] the sand, _ _ On [Eb] the shores of _ Gallipoli. _ _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ So the Kreme, or the Commonwealth, brothers [Ab] and _ sons, _ _ _
[Eb] Sailed with the French for a place in [Bb] the sun,
_ _ _ [Gm] _
[Eb] Where meanwhile the young Turks were training [Ab] their guns,
_ _ [Gm] On the shores of Gallipoli.
[Eb] _ _
_ _ _ On the shores, _ _ on the shores, _ _ Where wave upon wave of men [Bb] _ pour,
_ _ [Eb] In a tide to be turned like [Ab] never _ before, _ _ _ On [Eb] the [Gm] shores of Gallipoli.

And soon they [Gm] _ arrived at [Eb] the _ [Ab] Dardanelles _ gate, _ _ _
[Eb] Every eye open yet blind to [Gm] their _ fate, _ _ _
[Eb] _ Mustafa Kemal's men were lying [Ab] in _ wait, _ On the _ [Gm] shores of _ [Eb] Gallipoli. _

[Eb] The _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ shells [Gm] and the gunfire [Cm] rained down from [Ab] the hill, _ _ _
[Eb] And thousands [Gm] of corpses lay [Cm] silent [Bb] and still,
_ _ [Gm] _
If the [Eb] bullets don't kill you, the _ [Ab] dysentery will, _ _
On the shores [Gm] of _ [Eb] Gallipoli.
_ _ _ _ On the shores, _ on the _ shores, _ Where wave upon wave of men [Gm] _ pour,
_ _ In [Eb] a tide to be turned like [Fm] [Ab] never _ before, _ _ On [Eb] the [Gm] shores of Gallipoli.

_ _ Seen at [Gm] first hand it was [Cm] _ [Ab] Kitchener's code, _ _ _
_ [Eb] Making more martyrs makes no [Bb] sense at all, _ _
_ [Eb] _ Move them [Gm] all out before [Ab] every man falls, _ _
On the [Gm] shores of _ [Eb] Gallipoli.

_ _ A century's reflection _ remembers _ [Ab] those men,
_ Who never [Eb] set eyes on their homeland _ [Gm] again, _ _
_ The [Eb] grandsons of enemies _ now become [Ab] _ friends, _
_ On the _ [Gm] shores of _ [Eb] Gallipoli.
_ _ _ On the shores, _ _ on the _ _ shores, _ Where wave upon wave of [Gm] men _ [Bb] pour, _
In [Eb] a tide to [Bb] be turned like never _ _ [Ab] before, _ _ [Eb]
On the _ shores of _ Gallipoli.
