(D major) (G major) On July 31st, (E minor) 1943,
a (G major) bloody round in the battle for
the Solomon Islands
was being fought in the tangled jungle
(E minor) of (G major) the island of New Georgia.
This is the story of one of
the young men
who fought and died there.
This song is re (D major) spectfully dedicated
to (G major) those heroic (D major) infantrymen
who, like Roger (G major) Young,
have sacrificed their lives
that their nation might
remain forever free.
Caught in am (D major) bush,
lay a company of (G major) riflemen
Just grenades (D major) against machine guns
(B minor) in the (G major) gloom
Caught in am (C major) bush till this
one of twenty riflemen (G major)
(E minor) Volunteered, (A major) (G major) volun (A major) teered
(D major) to meet his (G major) doom (D major) (G major)

On the (C major) is (D major) land of (A major) New (D major) Georgia,
in the (G major) suburbs,
Stands a (D major) simple wooden cross,

That beneath (C major) the silent coral of
the (G major) Solomon (E minor) s,
Sleep (G major) (D major) s a man,
(G major) (E minor) sleeps (D major) a (G major) man remembered well.
