[Verse 1]
[G]The moon [D]is [G]slo[D]wly[G] sinking,[D]
[G]the final moon I'll [D]see
[G]My head is tired of [D]thinking,
[G]it's just a rosary
[D]An [C]empty place, a tab[G]le,
[Bm]and my mothe[Am]r's eyes are wet[D]
[G]The hand of
[Am]God came d[F]own last n[C]ight, [D]and
Jesus [G]wept[D]
[G]If I'd been a [D]captain,
[G]they would have sent me [D]home
[G]But I am just a [D]private,
[G]condemned to die [D]alone
[C]The firing squad's been drink[G]ing,
it's a [Am]dawn they won't forget
[D]The[G] hand of
[Am]God came d[F]own last n[C]ight a[D]nd
Jesus [G]wept[Am][D][G][Am]
[D]Sound the [C]drum for their young
[G]pre[Bm]cious yea[D]rs
But no [C]glory will [Bm]shine [G]upon
[Bm]my poor [Am]moth[G]er's tears[C][D]
[G]A soldier's good for f[D]ighting,
[G]that's what my father [D]said
An[G]d if the man's not f[D]ighting,
[G]he might as well be [D]dead
[C]Shame has drawn the [Bm]cur tains [G]and
the [Am]neighbours won't for[D]get
[G]The hand of
[Am]God came d[F]own last n[C]ight a[D]n d
Jesus [G]wept
I got the shakes on
[D]Tuesday, [G]I cannot go, I[D] said
[G]They sent me down on
Wed[D]nesday, [G]by
Thursday I was [D]dead
[C]I fought for king and count[Bm]ry,
[G]two yea[Am]rs without reg[D]ret
[G]The hand of
[Am]God came down [F]last n[C]ight a[D]n d
Jesus [G]wept[Am][D][G][Am]
[D]We all [C]fall in the [Bm]cause of [G]the free
[D]When the sun[C] sets on
[Bm]England, do [Am]you [G]think of m[C]e?[D]
[G]In unmarked graves in
[D]Flanders
[G]Lie three hundred boys [D]and men
[G]Killed, unloved and fri[D]ghtened
[G]By those they thought were [D]friends
[C]The nation's guilty [Bm]secret
[G]is [Am]this generation's [D]debt
[G]The hand of
[Am]God came d[F]own last n[C]ight a[D]n d
Jesus [Em]wept[A]
[G]The hand of
[Am]God came d[F]own last n[C]ight a[D]nd
