[Verse 1]
D G D
I returned to the fields of glory,
A
Where the green grass and flowers grow.
D G D
And the wind softly sings the story,
A D
Of the brave lads of long ago.
[Chorus]
G D
March no more my soldier laddie,
D A
There is peace where there once was war.
D G D
Sleep in peace my soldier laddie,
A D
Sleep in peace, now the battle's o'er.
[Verse 2]
D G D
In the great glen they lay a sleeping,
D A
Where the cool waters gently flow.
D G D
And the gray mist is sadly weeping,
A D
For those brave lads of long ago.
[Chorus]
G D
March no more my soldier laddie,
D A
There is peace where there once was war.
D G D
Sleep in peace my soldier laddie,
A D
Sleep in peace, now the battle's o'er.
[Verse 3]
D G D
See the tall grass is there awaiting,
A
As their banners of long ago.
D G D
With their heads high forward threading,
A D
Stepping lightly to meet the foe.
[Chorus]
G D
March no more my soldier laddie,
D A
There is peace where there once was war.
D G D
Sleep in peace my soldier laddie,
A D
Sleep in peace, now the battle's o'er.
[Verse 4]
D G D
Some return from the fields of glory,
D A
To their loved ones who held them dear.
D G D
But some fell in that hour of glory,
