chords

myself (first one ever!). It's such a lovely song and hope more people can

enjoy it as a

result of my chords!

I can smell the death on the sheets
C
Covering me

I lie here alone

If I close my eyes tonight

I know I'll be home

To know that the stories

Of battles and glory

Made up for her son

Somewhere on a beach there

Like he abandoned me
