C
This world can't stand that long
F              C
Be ready don't wait too late
G
You should know it can't stand long
                      C
For it is too full of hate

For a long time this world has stood
Gets more wicked every day
the maker who created it
Surely won't let it stand this way

This world can't stand too long
Be ready don't wait too late
You should know it can't stand long
For it is too full of hate

This world's been destroyed before
Cause it is too full of sin

You ask me, stranger, why I make this journey
C                                           G
Why I cross three thousand miles of rolling waves.
     C                                    F
Like so many others my love was killed in action.
C           G                 C
So I'm here searching for his grave.

Somewhere among the many thousand
Of all the Americans who died, true and brave,
That's where I know I'll find him resting
