 Am               G             Am
Thousands of my brothers lay before me
   Am                    G                 Fmaj7
A hallowed ground like ghosts I hear them cry
 Dm               C                  Dm
Young men taking bullets fordstrum blood
           Am   G  Am
smoke and fear
     Am         G                   Am
As I enter the valley of death and heartache
    Am                G           Fmaj7
A river of blood as far as I can see
Dm            C                    G 
Angry and confused it's hard to stand and
          F
walk the line

Chorus:
  C   G  Am  F    G   Am
Shine on unknown soldiers

They fought and died at Gettysburg and Shiloh
They're still fighting in the town where I was born
Nothing seems to change in this world that we see

Chorus:
Sail on unknown soldier

Only God knows all the unknown soldiers
How did they learn to hold a gun?
Was it just that got the oil to keep
the enemy off our shores

Chorus:
Sail on unknown soldier

The tears that fall for innocence around us
The cry for peace is truly never heard
Why can't we see that history tells us
Nothing's ever learned?
Shine on unknown soldiers

Chorus:
Sail on unknown soldiers
