A D C G A It was just after sunrise and down by the seaEm Bm G A down on the sand flats where nothing will growD C G A come drumming and footsteps like out of a dreamEm Bm A where the golden green waters come in.A D C G A Just nine lucky soldiers had come through the nightEm Bm G A half of them wounded and barely aliveD C G A Just nine out of twenty was a-headed for homeEm Bm C G with eleven sad stories to tell.A C G Em Bm I remember quite clearly when I got out of bedC G Em A G A I said, "Oh, good morning. What a beautiful day."
