Searching For A Soldier’s Grave

You ask me stranger why I made this journey
C
G7
Why I cross three thousand miles of ocean waves
C
F
Like many others my loved one was killed in action
C
G7
C
And that’s why I’m here I’m searching for his grave
F
Somewhere here among these many thousands
C
G7
Of Americans who all died true and brave
C
F
That’s where I know I’ll find him resting
C
G7
C
So I’m here I’m searching for his grave
F
Beside each cross mark here all around me
C
G7
I´ll kneel down and gladly say a prayer
C
F
For all their loved ones back home across the ocean
C
G7
C
Whose heart like mine is buried over here
F
Somewhere here among these many thousands
C
G7
Of Americans who all died true and brave
C
F
That’s where I know I’ll find him resting
C
G7
C
So I’m here I’m searching for his grave
F
When I come to the spot where he’s sleeping
C
G7
I know it will cause more heartaches inside
C
F
But I’ll long to be by his side once more and tell him
C
G7
C
Tell him I love him and I will until I die
F
Somewhere here among these many thousands
C
G7
Of Americans who all died true and brave
C
F
That’s where I know I’ll find him resting
C
G7
C
So I’m here I’m searching for his grave
