[Intro]

[Verse 1]
D C G Gm G D
Early in the morning, the cold snow falling down, Easter of 1917.
C G Gm D
My love climbed out from the tunnels underground and stepped to no-man’s land in between.
G Dm D
His last night was spent in the ground of the French land; with thousands of men he did wait.
G Dm D
He laid down his head upon the barrel of his gun, a dark and cruel symbol of his fate.
[Chorus]
C D Dm Bb C Dm
Oh, my love can’t touch you now or calm the fear that’s building deep within.
C Dm Bb C D
Oh, the terror you must have felt, waiting below the hill at Vimy Ridge.
[Verse 2]
C G Gm Dm D
An overpowering thunder from the creeping barrage left no room for thoughts within their minds.
G Gm D
Forty pounds loaded down, the horror lingered on imprinted in their memories for all time.
[Chorus]
C D Dm Bb C Dm
Oh, my love can’t touch you now or calm the fear you’re feeling deep within.
C Dm Bb C D
Oh, the terror you must have felt, fighting on the hill at Vimy Ridge

[Verse 3]
C G
A hard thump on his chest stopped time in its tracks;
Dm
His lucky streak had come and now had passed.
D C G Gm
Ahead lay the fury, behind was a different scene:
D
A quiet kingdom of death and casualties.
G
He lay waiting for the stretcher bearer to come.
D
The cold wind froze the clothes to his body.
G D
Disbelief came over him “This couldn’t really be for I am now a young man still with dreams!”
[Chorus]
C D Dm Bb C Dm
Oh, my love can’t touch you now or calm the fear you’re feeling deep within.
C Dm Bb C Dm D G D
Oh, the terror you must have felt, dying on the hill at Vimy Ridge.
[Verse 4]
