Calling Doon The Line Chords by Scocha

[N] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Boys stood on the platform _ in _ _ 1917
[F] _ _ _ _ _
Waiting for a train [Eb] to [Bb] Salisbury Plain
But only [Dm] _ in their teens
[F] _ _ A [Bb] lad to his mother _ said in a fret
We'll be home by Christmas Day
_ _ And the piper [F] played _ Scotland [Bb] Abrave
As he waved the [Dm] boys [Bb]
away _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Collingdon the line, _ _ _ _ _ Collingdon the [Eb]
line
_ And [Bb] they rallied round to [Eb] the [Bb] piper's tune
It was _ Collingdon the line _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Sergeant Major pushed them hard
They were trained in only [F] days
_ But [Bb] to bear the brunt of the [Eb] Western [Bb] front
They would soon be [Dm] on their [F] way
_ _ _ [Bb] So off they marched, rifles shoulder high _
And all the twins they [F] sang _
For we're [Bb] no _ [F] walk to bide
[Bb] A waltz to the pipers in the band _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Collingdon the line, _ _ _ _ Collingdon [Eb] the line
_ And [Bb] they rallied [F] round to the [Bb] piper's tune
It was _ Collingdon the line _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Thunder _ echoed through the trench
_ As the shells of bin Em [F] rained
_ _ And the General _ spent a [Eb] thousand [Bb] men
For every [D] inch they [F] gained _
And [Bb] the brave young men [F] faced their battle [Bb] dawn
So proud to do their [F] job
_ _ And the piper stood in [Eb] a line [Bb] of fire
And [D] played them o [Bb]'er the _ _ top _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Collingdon the line, _ _ _ _ Collingdon [Eb] the line
_ And [Bb] they [F] rallied round to [Eb] the [Bb] piper's tune
It was _ Collingdon the line
_ _ When _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ no man's land fell _ [Eb] silent
[Bb] _ And they counted all [F] the dead
_ _ [Bb] The victory [F] claimed [Eb] would disguise [Bb] the shame
And nothing [D] more was [F] said
_ And [Bb] the fallen brave [F] on a foreign [Bb] field
They gave their very [F] best
_ _ [Bb] And the piper [F] _ [Eb] played a sad [Bb] lament _
_ As [D] they laid the boys [Bb] to _ rest _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Collingdon the line, _ _ _ _ Collingdon [Eb] the line
_ And they [F] rallied round to the [Bb] piper's tune
It was _ Collingdon the line _ _
_ _ _ _ Collingdon the line, _ _ _ _ Collingdon the [Eb] line
_ And [Bb] they rallied [F] round to the piper's tune
It was _ Collingdon the line
_ And they rallied round _ to the piper's tune
_ It was _ Collingdon _ _ _ the line _
