This is how I beleive the song is acually played. There is no capo used when He plays
song. If there are any typos or mistakes feel free to let me know.
D/F# is just a D chord with the 2nd fret of the low E string pushed with the thumb.
how I press it anyway)
this series of chords "G—D/F#—Em " is a G walked to a D/F# then walked to an Em.
Sorry if this was posted twice Im still learning this posting tab stuff.
Intro
They fought and some died for their homeland
They fought and some died now it’s our land
Look at his little child, there’s no fear in her eyes
Could he not show respect for other dads who have died?
Take two minutes, would you mind?
It’s a pittance of time
For the boys and the girls who went over
——
In peace may they rest, may we never forget why they died.
It’s a pittance of time
God forgive me for wanting to strike him
—
Give me strength so as not to be like him
My heart pounds in my breast, fingers pressed to my lips
My throat wants to bawl out, my tongue barely resists
But two minutes I will bide
It’s a pittance of time
—
For the boys and the girls who went over
——
In peace may they rest, may we never forget why they died.
It’s a pittance of time
[Intro chords played twice through]
Read the letters and poems of the heroes at home
They have casualties, battles, and fears of their own
There’s a price to be paid if you go, if you stay
Freedom is fought for and won in numerous ways
Take two minutes would you mind?
It’s a pittance of time
—
For the boys and the girls all over
May we never forget our young become vets
At the end of the line it’s a pittance of time
It takes courage to fight in your own war
It takes courage to fight someone else’s war
Our peacekeepers tell of their own living hell
They bring hope to foreign lands that the hatemongers can’t kill
Take two minutes, would you mind?
It’s a pittance of time
—
For the boys and the girls who go over
In peacetime our best still don battle dress
And lay their lives on the line.
It’s a pittance of time
——
In Peace may they rest, lest we forget why they died.
Take a pittance of time
