Stained Glass Morning

          D                                                          G
Through a stained-glass morning they’re diggin’ in the green grass again
D                                                        G
Who’s that mournin’ I have seen her face somewhere, but when

     D                         G
Well fold up the flag that was covering him
D                             G
Give it to the woman that was lovin’ him
    D                                       G
And whisper that he died defending her liberty
            Em               A7           D
But they’ll lay him six feet down in some far-off piece of ground
                       D7           G
With one stone markin’ him where three should be

Chorus:
              D                       G
Cause they’ll never give her back the song he would sing
            D                       G
And they’ll never give her back the child he would bring
            D                                              G
And they’ll never give her back the brother they took from me

D  G  A  D  G  D

Through a stained-glass morning a thousand years have greened the grass again
In the rain I hang mournin’
A face I couldn’t recognise, then

Well fold up the flag that was coverin’ me
Give it to the woman that was lovin’ me
Then whisper that I died defending her liberty
But they laid me six feet down in some far-off piece of ground
With one stone markin’ me where three should be
