[Intro]
Am Em F#m Em
Am Em F#m Em
[Verse 1]
Em
I've tinkered at my bits of rhymes
Em
In weary, woeful, waiting times;
Em
And doleful hours of battle-din
Em
Ere yet they brought the wounded in;
Em
Through vigils of the fateful nights
Em
In lousy barns by candle-light;
Em
And dug-outs, sagging and aflood,
Em
On stretchers stiff and bleared with blood;
Em
By ragged grove, by ruined road,
Em
By hearths accursed where love abode,
Em
By broken altars, blackened shrines
Fm
I've tinkered at my bits of rhymes.
[Verse 2]
Fm
I've solaced me with scraps of song
Fm
The desolated ways along:
Fm
Through sickly fields all shrapnel-sown,
Fm
And meadows reaped by death alone;
Fm
By blazing cross and splintered spire,
Fm
By headless Virgin in the mire;
Fm
By gardens gashed amid their bloom,
Fm
By guttered grave, by shattered tomb;
Fm
Beside the dying and the dead,
Fm
Where rocket green and rocket red
