1. When the Tigers Broke Free

--------------------------
C Gsus C G
It was just before dawn one miserable morning in black forty-four
C Gsus
When the forward commander was told to sit tight,
C F/C C
When he asked that his men be withdrawn
C
And the generals gave thanks, as the other ranks
Gsus C Csus
Held back the enemy tanks for a while
C Gsus
And the Anzio Bridgehead was held for the price
C
Of a few hundred ordinary lives
C G C G
And kind old King George sent Mother a note when he heard that Father was

gone
C G C F C
It was, I recall, in the form of a scroll with gold leaf and all
C G C
And I found it one day in a drawer of old photographs hidden away
C Gsus
And my eyes still grow damp to remember
C G C
His Majesty signed with his own rubber stamp
C G
It was dark all around, there was frost in the ground
C G
When the Tigers broke free
C G C F C
And no-one survived from the Royal Fusiliers, Company "C"
C C G C
They were all left behind, most of them dead - the rest of them dying
C G C
And that's how the high command took my daddy from me

2. In The Flesh ?
