The CorpsCifra

Intro: 

C   C             Am     Am         G      G 
The Corps,        The Corps,        The Corps 


Verso 1:
 
C              F      C    F  C 
The Corps bare headed salu-te it 
C            F            C   G 
With eyes up thanking our God 
      C         F         C     F 
That  we of the Corps are treading 
      C           Am         G 
Where they of the Corps have trod. 
         Am      Em      A#    A 
They are here in ghostly assem-blage, 
    F          G          C 
The men of the Corps long dead. 
        C          F        C     F 
And our hearts are standing atten-tion, 
F     C              G       C 
As we wait for their passing tread. 


Verso 2:
 
C  Am               C 
We sons of Today we salute you 
               F       C 
You sons of an earlier day 
          Em          Am 
We follow close order behind you 
      D       D           G 
Where you have pointed the way. 
    C         Am         C 
The Long Gray Line of us stretches 
C                      F       C 
Through the years of a century told, 
                 Am           C 
And the last man feels to his marrow 
    G            D       G 
The grip of your far-off hold. 

Verso 3:
 
C                  F              C   F C 
Grip hands with us now, though we se..e not, 
C                   F          C   G 
Grip hands with us, strengthen our hearts 
       C         F            C   F  C 
As the long line stiffens and straightens 
C                         Am       G 
With the thrill that your presence imparts. 
     Am                Em          A#   A 
Grip hands – though it be from the sha-dows – 
    F                  G      C 
While we swear, as you did of yore, 
   C          F         C 
Or living, or dying, to honor 
C             F       G         F   C 
The Corps,    and the Corps,    and the Corps!
