#Another Man's Cause
#

#By the Levellers - From the album "Levelling the Land"
#
#
#This is a great song. Simple to play (like most of the Leveller's stuff),
#but is enhanced by adding rythmic hammer-ons and pull-offs in the latter
#stages. Listen to the song and get into it...

#Intro
++ [Am] [G] [F] [G] [Am] [G] [F] [G] Verse 1
++++ [Am]Gunshots shatter in the peace of night
It's [G]just another firefight
For the [F]people of this little [G]town
But [Am]for the dying soldier
Well he's [G]feeling ten years older
As he's [F]lying face down on the [G]ground

And [G]all the words that his mother said
As [F]she would put him to bed back [G]home
Chorus
+++ [C]Your Daddy when he [G]died in the [Am]Falklands

And your [C]mother, well she's [G]lying home [Am]alone
Verse Two
++++++ [G] [F] [G] [Am] [G] [F] [G] [Am]Everyday she sees your face
On the [G]picture on the fireplace
With your [F]brother as he was leaving [G]school

You said [G]"Mother, I need to know"
And you [F]spoke the words your brother spoke be[G]fore
[Am]"I know the things my Daddy done
And I've [G]seen the medals that he's won
And I [F]know this is what he would have [G]wanted [G]for [Am]me

They're gonna [F]fight and [G]die in a[Am]nother country's [G]war
They're gonna [F]die for a re[G]ligion didn't be[Am]lieve in at [G]all
They're gonna [F]die in a [G]place they should [Am]never been at all
Oh, [Am]never been at all
