Here I [Bm]stand in a [D]land that [A]isn't my [Em]own
[Bm]Far from the [D]country that [A]I know as [Em]home
I was [Bm]sent here by [G]government [A]armed by the [Bm]King
And I'm [G]told I must [D]kill men in [Em]order to [A]bring
[Bm]Peace to this [G]foreign [A]land
There he [Bm]lies on a [D]land no [A]longer his [Em]own
In the [Bm]grey of the [D]country that [A]he knows as [Em]home
He was [Bm]sent here by [G]government, but he [A]might not [Bm]agree
And if [G]someone must [D]kill him God [Em]why is it [A]me?
To bring [Bm]peace to this [G]foreign [A]land

[CHORUS]
Don't des[D]pise the de[A]serter
Don't des[Bm]pise the de[G]serter
Don't des[D]pise the de[Em]serter
Who [G]ran from the [A]war
Don't de[D]spise the de[A]serter
Don't des[Bm]pise the de[G]serter
Don't des[D]pise the de[Em]serter
Who r[G]an from the [D]war.

So I [Bm]bent down to d[D]rag him [A]away from the [Em]wire
But the [Bm]rifles to the l[D]eft of me [A]started to [Em]fire
He was [Bm]riddled with [G]bullets, I was [A]smothered in [Bm]blood
And I [G]don't see how [G]murdering som[Em]ebody [A]could
Bring [Bm]peace to a [G]foreign [A]land

So I [Bm]ran from the [D]fighting [A]threw down my [Em]gun
And I [Bm]ran by the [D]moon and [A]slept by the [Em]sun
Now ar[Bm]rested by [G]government and [A]charged by the [Bm]King
To be [G]shot 'cos I [D]can't kill in [Em]order to [A]bring
Bn [G] [A]
Peace to a foreign land

The chord runs marked Intro, Inter & Ending are very much my interpretation of an amazing section of
violin lead.
It works and sound reasonable.
(Waltz time. By the way)
