_ It was just before [G] dawn, one miserable _ [C] morning in Black [G] 44,
_ _ When [C] the forward commander [G] was told to sit tight,
When [C] he asked that his men be withdrawn, _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ And the generals gave [C] thanks, as the other
ranks [G] Held back the enemy [C] tanks for a [D] while,
The Anzio bridgehead [D] was held for the price Of a few hundred ordinary lives,
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
The kind old King [G] George sent Mother [C] a note When he heard that the [G] father was gone,
_ _ _ It was, I [G] recall, in the form of a scroll [C] _ With gold leaf and [C] all,
_ _ _ _ [G] _
And I [Am] found it one [C] day in a drawer Of old [G] photographs, hidden away,
[C] _
_ _ _ And my eyes still grow damp to [G] remember His [G] majesty _
[C] signed with his own rubber stamp, _ _
_ _ _ It was dark all [G]
around, there was [C] frost in the ground,
When the Tigers [G] broke free, _ _ _ [C] _
_ And no one [D] survived from the refuse of the
US Company C, _ _ _ _ [G] _ They were all left behind, most of them [D]
dead,
The rest [C] of them dying, _ _ _ _ _ _ That's [G] how the high command [D] took my [G] daddy _ _ from me.
