A PITTANCE OF TIME by Terry Kelly
(arranged in paste-to-word friendly format)
Capo 2nd Fret
Intro: [G] [C] [F] [G] [Am] [F] [C] [G]
[G] They [C] fought and some [Am] died for their [F] home [G] land
They [C] fought and some [Am] died now it’s [F] our [G] land
Look at [F] his little [Am] child, there’s no [F] fear in her [C] eyes
Could he [Am] not show [C] respect for [F] other dads who have [G] died
Take two [C] minutes, would you [Am] mind? It’s a [F] pittance of [G] time
For the [C] boys and the [Am] girls who [F] went [G] over
In [C] peace may they [Am] rest, may we [F] never for[G]get…
Why they [Am] died… [F] It’s a pittance of [G] time
[G] God for[C] give me for [Am] wanting to [F] strike [G] him
Give me [C] strength so as [Am] not to be [F] like [G] him
My heart [F] pounds in my [C] breast, fingers [F] pressed to my [Am] lips
My throat [C] wants to bawl [Am] out, my tongue [F] barely [G] resists
But two [C] minutes I will [Am] bide, it’s a [F] pittance of [G] time
For the [C] boys and the [Am] girls who [F] went [G] over
In [C] peace may they [Am] rest, may we [F] never for[G]get
why they [C] died... [F] it’s a pittance of [G] time
[G] [C] [F] [G] [Am] [F] [C] [G]
Read the [C] letters and [Am] poems of the [F] heroes at [G] home
They have [C] casualties, [Am] battles, and [F] fears of their [G] own
There’s a [F] price to be [C] paid if you [Am] go, if you [G] stay
Freedom’s [Am] fought for and [C] won in [F] numerous [G] ways
Take two [C] minutes, would you [Am] mind? It’s a [F] pittance of [G] time
For the [C] boys and the [Am] girls all [F] over [G]
May we [C] never [Am] forget our [F] young become [G] vets
At the [Am] end of the [C] line… [F] it’s a pittance of [G] time
It takes [C] courage to [Am] fight in your [F] own [G] war
It takes [C] courage to [Am] fight someone [F] else’s [G] war
Our [F] peacekeepers [Am] tell of their [F] own living [Am] hell
They bring [C] hope to foreign [Am] lands that the hate [F] mongers can’t [G] kill
Take two [C] minutes, would you [Am] mind? It’s a [F] pittance of [G] time
For the [C] boys and the [Am] girls who go [F] over [G]
In [F] peace time our [C] best still [F] don battle [Am] dress
And lay their [C] lives on the [Am] line... [F] it’s a pittance of [G] time
In [C] peace may they [Am] rest
[G]lest we for[Am]get why they [C] died
[F] Take a pittance of [G] time
