Nobody Was There

Afinação: E A D G B ETecla: DCapotraste: Sem capotraste [Intro] D G D A D [Verse] D G D He was a ragged boy when at his father's knee; G A Became an orphan like a fledgling from a tree D G D And at the barrack fence he found his only thrill; G D The sights and sounds of the parade ground A D And the soldiers and their drill. [Chorus] G A G A And the band played on and the soldiers marched along G A D And they sang the Sweet Banana Song G A D G Nobody was there, to share, to turn to and to say: D A D "I'm gonna be a soldier too one day..." [Verse] D G D He was a ragged youth, he worked the fields of grain: G A A simple man of peace in sun and wind and rain D G D And they came in the dead of night as only jackals can G D And they killed his woman and child A D And the white haired old man. [Chorus] G A G A And life goes on and the soldiers marched along G A D And they sang the Sweet Banana song. G A D G Nobody was there, to hear, his oath of sweet revenge D A D And the deaths he swore one day he would avenge. [Solo] D G D A D [Verse] D G D Far from the ragged boy the soldier that he made; G A No one to see him at the passing- out- parade D G D One day, an ambush and a bullet tears his chest G D A D And dying as he fires four jackals meet their death [Outro] G A G A And the war raged on and the soldiers marched along G A D And they sang the Sweet Banana song. G A D G Nobody was there, to care, to be there by his side, D A D Nobody was there when the ragged soldier died. G A D Nobody was there, Nobody was there A D Nobody was there, nobody was there...
