Am C His tank was hit with armor-piercer G C So say good-bye to Guardian crew. A7 Dm Am Just four more corpses in the hillside E Am Will add to fair morning view Am C 'Cause now the vehicle is burning, G C Wait for the shells to detonate, A7 Dm Am You wanna live to see this morning E Am But you're too weak and it's too late Am C They'll lift us from beneath the wreckage G C Remove our bodies from the fray A7 Dm Am While fire and thunder from the cannons E Am Escort us on our final way Am C And telegrams will set a-flying G C To notify our next of kin: A7 Dm Am Your son will never be returning E Am On leave he won't be stopping in Am C His mother wails in the corner G C His father swats a creeping tear A7 Dm Am His love will never know for certain E Am What fate befell her tanker dear Am C A photo on her shelf will linger G C Among the yellowed books forlorn A7 Dm Am In tanker's garment, epaulets on E Am And fiancé to her no more.
