  • Lyrics:
     
    The Grave (Don McLean)
  •  
    [Without guitar]
     
  • The grave that they dug him had flowers
    Gathered from the hillsides in bright summer colours
    And the brown earth bleached white at the edge of his gravestone
  • He's gone
     
    [Intro - guitar]
  •  
    When the wars of our nation did beckon
    A man barely twenty did answer the calling
  • Proud of the trust that he placed in our nation
    He's gone
    But eternity knows him
  • And it knows what we've done
     
    [Strumming begins]
  •  
    And the rain fell like pearls on the leaves of the flowers
    Leaving brown muddy clay where the earth had been dry
  • And deep in the trench he waited for hours
    As held to his rifle and prayed not to die
     
  • But the silence of night was shattered by fire
    As guns and grenades blasted sharp through the air
    One after another his comrades were slaughtered
  • In a morgue of marines, alone standing there
     
    He crouched ever lower, ever lower of fear
  • They can't let me die, they can't let me die here
    I'll cover myself with the mud and the earth
    I'll cover myself, I know I'm not brave!
  • The earth, the earth, the earth is my grave
     
    [Solo]
  •  
    The grave that they dug him had flowers
    Gathered from the hillsides in bright summer colours
  • And the brown earth bleached white at the edge of his gravestone
    He's gone
