Capo 1st fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Born in the plains a farmers sons and brothers the same
raised on promises wed stay that way
As boys we believed summers at the sea we were free
to become men of good will side by side
And we were children then, foot prints in the sand
And where the ocean bends we made our promises. He knows.
Duty soon called, nineteen forty three we enrolled together we would be our
familys pride.
And we were soldiers then, our bodies in the sand.
And like that sand through our hands, go our grandest plans.
And just to see your face for one moment Id cross the ocean again
the end is not th e end.
And Ill be by your side on the other side
Ill be by your side on the other side.
And through the cloud of death we find our way back home
And though I hold your hand all must go alone
And when you see the face of our maker you dont have to be
ashamed He knows the promises we made.
And Ill be by your side on the other side
Ill be by your side on the other side.
