D G
Through a stained-glass morning they’re diggin’ in the green grass again
D G
Who’s that mournin’ I have seen her face somewhere, but when
D G
Well fold up the flag that was covering him
D G
Give it to the woman that was lovin’ him
D G
And whisper that he died defending her liberty
Em A7 D
But they’ll lay him six feet down in some far-off piece of ground
D7 G
With one stone markin’ him where three should be
Chorus:
D G
Cause they’ll never give her back the song he would sing
D G
And they’ll never give her back the child he would bring
D G
And they’ll never give her back the brother they took from me
D G A D G D
Through a stained-glass morning a thousand years have greened the grass again
In the rain I hang mournin’
A face I couldn’t recognise, then
Well fold up the flag that was coverin’ me
Give it to the woman that was lovin’ me
Then whisper that I died defending her liberty
But they laid me six feet down in some far-off piece of ground
With one stone markin’ me where three should be
