[Verse 1]
[D]It [G]was[D] a war[G] bon[D]d
That payed the doctor
When he was [A]born it wasn't [D]easy
He had a fever
And he was dying His dad was
[A]fighting across [D]the sea

[Verse 2]
He was almost [D]to sweet
Canada's Border
When he [Em]ran into a[G] man who was h[D]igh
On Gun powder and a federal order
That [Em]says you've got to [G]fight and [D]die

[Verse 3]
He answered [D]I'm a run[F#m]nin'
From the [G]people who are [Em]gunnin' down
The [G]people who are running for [D]life[A]
I just [D]wanted

[Verse 4]
to be free
To be [G]all that I was promised
By the [Em]fathers of our [G]fathers
[D]long [A]before.
Now it's [D]gettin' kind of queasy
And [F#m]I'm feelin' kind of se[G]asick
I [Em]think that it's [A]time for me to [D]go.

[Verse 5]
He was almost [D]to sweet
[G]Canada's [D]Border
He was almost to sweet
Canada's Border
When he [Em]ran into a[G] man who was h[D]igh
On Gun powder and a federal order
That [Em]says you've got to [G]fight and [D]die

[Verse 6]
When the man [D]said surrender
He [G]kept right on a'goin'
He could [Em]see his brother
[G]Jesus by his [D]side[A]
And [D]they knew he was'nt fakin'
When the [F#m]bullet started [G]quakin'
Through the [Em]body of [A]a peace
maker who [D]tried

[Verse 7]
And he died [D]for his country and
[G]he was not mistaken
[Em]Takin' [A]his body back [D]home
He would'nt go into the
[G]far eastern jungle
[Em]Takin' [A]his body back [D]home

[Verse 8]
He just wanted [D]to be [F#m]free
To be [G]all that he was [Em]promised
By [G]the fathers of our fathers
long be[D]fore.[A]
And he [D]died for his country and
[F#m]he was not mistak[G]en
[Em]Takin' [E]his [A]body back [D]home
He was almost to sweet Canada's Border
He was almost to sweet Canada's Border
He was almost to sweet
Canada's Border
He was almost to sweet Canada's Border
