F                A#   G
Walker sees the mist rise
F     A#        G
Over no man's land
F            A#      G
He sees in front of him
F             A#     G
A smashed up waste ground

  C           A#
There are no fields or trees
               F
No blades of grass
                 A#         G
Just unhurried ghosts are there
F               A#  G
Hanging in the wire

Walker's in the wire
Limbs point upwards
There are no birds singing
'The White Cliffs of Dover'

There are no trees to sing from
Walker cannot hear the wind
Far off, a symphony
Do you hear the guns beginning?

Dm       F
Walker's in the mist
A#  F
Rising
Dm    F     A# Dm
over no man's land
Dm      F      A#       F
In the battered waste ground
Dm        F  A#  F
Hear the guns firing
