            C               G              D       Am 
This is the field where the battle did not happen
                  C      G        D   Am
Where the unknown soldier did not die
            C           G           D      
This is the field where grass joins hands
G                 D
Where no monument stands
        C      G         D       Am
And the only heroic thing is the sky

Birds fly here without any sound
          D            G       C
Spreading their wings upon the open
          D               G               C
No people killed, or were killed, on this ground
         G6   Am           C   G6 D
Hallowed by neglect and an air so tame 
     C     G6   Am             G           D
That people celebrate it by forgetting its name
