[A]
[C] [A]
Your head on my shoulder, two months you've been in vulture, I feel so sick inside, two
months you've been a lying lad.
So no one here knows your surname, and no one knows [Am] where you came, the Red Cross [A] took
you to your grave, for which your government [Am]
currently [A] pays.
[C] White [G] Cross, up on the [E] hillside, [Am] their lives are at an end of so far, [F] no one will remember [A] you now.
[F#] [A]
So here I stand, by your grave stone, the steel helmet lies upon your cross, the search
light, the key and the tree, that's what blundered through the life you lost.
[N] First night, the sniper saw you, second night, he killed the lady, [C#m] third night, [E] he pulled
that shnigger, [A] out the gun.
[C] [G] White Cross, up on the [E] hillside, their [A] lives are at an end of so [F] far, no one will remember [A] you now.
[N]
[A] The navy is, [F#] at war, [B] they're more than [Am] a war, they're a [F#] lot of people, they're a [A] lot
more than just a lot of [F#] people, [A] only a lot more people are, [Am] a lot of people, we, we're
not a lot of people, [Em] we're just [Am] a lot [A] of people.
[G] I said, [C] White Cross, [G] up on the [Bm] hillside, their [A] lives are at an end of so [F] far, no one will [C] remember that.
White [G] Cross, [E] [A] I'm not a soldier, [F] no more, I won't, no [D] more.
