    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
