  Another Man's Cause

  ===================

  

  By the Levellers - From the album "Levelling the Land"

  ------------------------------------------------------

  

  This is a great song. Simple to play (like most of the Leveller's stuff),

  but is enhanced by adding rythmic hammer-ons and pull-offs in the latter

  stages. Listen to the song and get into it...

  

  Intro

  +++++

  

  Am G F G

  

  Am G F G

  

  Verse 1

  +++++++

      Am

      Gunshots shatter in the peace of night

           G

      It's just another firefight

              F                     G

      For the people of this little town

          Am

      But for the dying soldier

                G

      Well he's feeling ten years older

              F                      G

      As he's lying face down on the ground

      Am

      All the words that are in his head 

          G

      And all the words that his mother said

         F                             G

      As she would put him to bed back home

  

  Chorus

  ++++++

      C                  G           Am

      Your Daddy when he died in the Falklands

      C        G    Am

      Fighting for another man's cause

               C              G             Am

      And your brother he was killed in the last war

               C                  G          Am

      And your mother, well she's lying home alone

  

  Verse Two

  +++++++++

  

      G F G

      

      Am G F G

  

      Am                    

      Everyday she sees your face 

             G

      On the picture on the fireplace

                F                         G

      With your brother as he was leaving school

             Am

      Then a day came five years ago

               G

      You said "Mother, I need to know"

              F                                    G

      And you spoke the words your brother spoke before

      Am

      "I know the things my Daddy done

               G

      And I've seen the medals that he's won

            F                               G      G   Am

      And I know this is what he would have wanted for me

  

      G Am

  

      CHORUS

      ++++++

  

  Bridge

  ++++++

      F       G             Am  G

      Now she wonders at it all

      F             G              Am                G

      Just in whose name, do these brave young heros fall

          F        G              Am          G

      And how many more are gonna answer that call

                    F         G       Am               G

      They're gonna fight and die in another country's war

                    F           G               Am          G

      They're gonna die for a religion didn't believe in at all

                    F        G                 Am            

      They're gonna die in a place they should never been at all

          Am

      Oh, never been at all
