                Song For the Dead - Randy Newman

Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard

Randy Newman
Song For the Dead (1983)
(Randy Newman)

From: "Trouble in Paradise"

Not easy ...
This is as far as I could take it at the moment. There are certainly some 
debatable decisions here. But when I just sat down and played it, it still 
sounded quite alright.
Comments and suggestions for improvements are highly welcome!

D/E  Em             D/E  Em
Deep in the field 
  D/G  G                D/G  G
A lone soldier stands
     D/E Em             D/E  Em
With mud on his boots 
    D/C   C              D/C  *C
And blood on his hands
     D/E  Em             D/E  Em
They left him behind 
   D/G G            D/G  G
To bu--ry the dead
       C [see tab for extra voicings]               Gsus4/D G/D  B7/Eb  Em
And to say a few words on behalf of the leadership    [see tab]

G                    D
Pardon me, boys if I slip off my pack
    Em7       Em/D       Cmaj7/sus2
And sit for a while with you 

    G                   B7             Ebdim         Esus4  Em/D       
I'd like to explain why you fine young men had to be blown apart
   C 
To defend this mud hole

    G                             B7/Eb      Ebdim 
Now our country, boys though it's quite far away
             Esus4 Em/D     Cmaj7
Found itself jeopardized, endangered, boys

   G          G/F       E          E7 
By these very gooks who lie here beside you
A9sus4 A            D7sus4  D7    D7sus2  D7
Fore---ver near, fore-------ver

     G                   B7/Eb    Ebdim 
We'd like to express our deep admiration
         Em7     Em/D  Cmaj7/sus2
For your courage under fire 

         G/D    B7/Eb   Em    Em/D          Cmaj7    C6       
And your willingness to die        for your country, boys

We won't forget ...
