D G Em D A D
Born in the plains a farmer’s sons and brothers the same
G Em D A Bm F# A D A6
raised on promises we’d stay that way
D G Em D A D
As boys we believed summers at the sea we were free
G Em D A Bm F# A G A6
to become men of good will side by side
G A Bm D G
And we were children then, foot prints in the sand
G A Bm D G D Bm A6
And where the ocean bends we made our promises. He knows.
D G Em D A D G Em D A Bm F#
Duty soon called, nineteen forty three we enrolled together we would be our
A G A6
family’s pride.
G A Bm D G
And we were soldiers then, our bodies in the sand.
G A Bm D G
And like that sand through our hands, go our grandest plans.
G A Bm A G
And just to see your face for one moment I’d cross the ocean again
D G A G A D G A6
the end is not th e end.
G D A G G D A G
And I’ll be by your side on the other side
G D A G G D A G A6
I’ll be by your side on the other side.
G A Bm D G
And through the cloud of death we find our way back home
G A Bm D G
And though I hold your hand all must go alone
G A Bm A
And when you see the face of our maker you don’t have to be
G D G A G A D G A6
ashamed He knows the promises we made.
G D A G G D A G
And I’ll be by your side on the other side
G D A G G D A G
I’ll be by your side on the other side.
