eric bogle - dedication day lyrics

Loading...

august in mildura, and winters on the run, g d c d there?s an early taste of springtime, in the warm mid-morning sun. g d c as the men marched past from first to last, the crowds cheer everyone, am d am d g and war seems somehow very far away, on this sunny dedication day.

g d c they marched to a memorial, built by and for their own, g d c d a simple wall of remembrance of brick and steel and stone. g d c with the names inscribed of those that died and to those that had made it home, am d am d g with a debt of love and honor to repay, had all gathered there on dedication day.

chorus

g d c it?s dedication day, g d c it?s dedication day.

verse 2 g d c there was a concert held that evening me and others sang our songs, g d c d while the boys drank beer and reminisced, laughed and clapped and sang along. g d c as i was standing there with my guitar, just waiting to go on, am d am d g a man grabbed my arm and said please would you play a, song for my mate hans this dedication day.

verse 3 g d c he asked me to sing welcome home, and i saw tears in his eyes, g d c d i knew there was a story there, but i did not want to pry. g d c and then he said to me, i want that song you see, for this morning my mate died, am d am d g faced with his grief there was nothing i could say, so i sang for hans on dedication day.

chorus g d c it?s dedication day g d c it?s dedication day

(piano solo)

verse 4 g d c they say that hans took his own life, but i don?t know if that?s true, g d c d but if it is that?s no surprise, too many vietnam vetrans do. g d c only those who were there, can know the despair and the pain that he went through, am d am g for who can understand it more than they, those who knew the cost of dedication day

verse 5 g d c though that asian wars long over, there still burying their dead g d c d yet somehow the bond grows stronger, with each broken thread g d c what poison stole and two hands sold to taint the years ahead am d am d g in that war so long ago and far away until they died of wounds on dedication day.

g d c g d c

chorus

g d c it’s dedication day g d c it’s dedication day

(repeat until fade out)
