[Verse]
G                   Cadd9           G           Cadd9 G  Cadd9 G  Cadd9
For our King and our country and the promise of glory
             G            Cadd9        G            Cadd9    G  Cadd9 G  Cadd9
We came from Kingston and Brighton to fight on the front line
 
     G             Cadd9     G             Cadd9 G  Cadd9 G  Cadd9
Just lads from the farms and boys from the cities
     G            Cadd9     G           Cadd9   G  Cadd9 G  Cadd9
Not meant to be soldiers we lay in the trenches
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Em                            F
We'd face the fighting with a smile - or so we said
Em                         D
If only we had known what danger lay ahead
 
[Interlude]
G  Cadd9  x4
 
    G             Cadd9      G         Cadd9  G  Cadd9 G  Cadd9
The sky turned to grey as we went into battle
       G         Cadd9  G              Cadd9  G  Cadd9 G  Cadd9
On the fields of Europe young men were fallin'
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Em                        F
I'll be back for you someday - it won't be long
Em                               D
If I can just hold on 'til this bloody war is over
 
[Chorus]
    G            Cadd9  G  Cadd9
The guns will be silent
      G          Cadd9  G  Cadd9
On Remembrance Day
         G          Cadd9    G  Cadd9
There'll be no more fighting
       G         Cadd9  G  Cadd9
On Remembrance Day
 
[Interlude]
G  Cadd9  x4
 
      G        Cadd9 G           Cadd9 G  Cadd9 G  Cadd9
By October of '18 Cambrai had fallen
         G            Cadd9    G         Cadd9  G  Cadd9 G  Cadd9
Soon the war would be over and we'd be returnin'
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Em                        F
Don't forget me while I'm gone far away
Em                              D
Well it won't be long 'til I'm back there in your arms again
 
[Chorus]
    G            Cadd9  G  Cadd9
The guns will be silent
      G          Cadd9  G  Cadd9
On Remembrance Day
         G          Cadd9    G  Cadd9
There'll be no more fighting
       G         Cadd9  G  Cadd9
On Remembrance Day
 
[Bridge]
F5            E5
One day soon - I don't know when
Eb5                                 D5                          Eb5 E5
You know we'll all be free and the bells of peace will ring again
F5                 E5
The time will come for you and me
Eb5                            D5
We'll be goin' home when this bloody war is ended
 
[Interlude]
G  Cadd9  x4
 
[Chorus]
    G            Cadd9  G  Cadd9
The guns will be silent
      G          Cadd9  G  Cadd9
On Remembrance Day
       G         Cadd9 G  Cadd9
We'll all say a prayer
       G         Cadd9  G  Cadd9
On Remembrance Day
 
[Interlude]

[Final Chorus]
       G       Cadd9  G  Cadd9
On Remembrance Day
             G      Cadd9 G  Cadd9
Say a little prayer
       G       Cadd9
On Remembrance Day
 
         G            Cadd9 G  Cadd9
Well the guns will be silent
         G          Cadd9   G  Cadd9
There'll be no more fighting
         G            Cadd9  G  Cadd9
Oh we'll lay down our weapons
      G        Cadd9  G  Cadd9
On Remembrance Day
