verse 1: 
    C         G          C 
The leaves of grass will not pass on 
                      F          G    C 
Though the millstones grind them into dust 
                    F        G       C 
For the earth shall give new life to them 
    F        Dm         G         C     Csus4 
But only the grass will grow once more 

 
        C          G       C          G 
And the brave must fall to honour the names 
       C                    Dm    G 
Of the ones who have gone before  
        C           F        G       C 
And the earth shall give new life to them 
    F        Dm         G         C     Csus4  C  Csus4 
But only the grass will grow once more 


verse 2: 
   C            G         C 
If people could look into each other's eyes 
                 F          G           C 
What a wonderful place this world would be 
                 F             G      C 
All strife would end, we could start again 
    F           Dm         G        C   Csus4 
And dreams like these must not pass on 

 
        C          G          C          G 
But the brave keep falling to honour the names  
       C                    Dm    G 
Of the ones who have gone before  
        C           F        G       C 
And the earth shall give new life to them 
    F        Dm         G         C     Csus4  C  Csus4 
But only the grass will grow once more
