Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Far and wide as the eye can wonder
[D]Heath and [Em]bog are [B]everyw[Em]here
[G]Not a bird sings out to cheer us
[Am]Oaks are [Em]standing [B]gaunt and [Em]bare.
[D]We

[Verse 2]
[G]are the peat bog [D]soldiers,
[Em]Marching with our [B]spades to the [Em]moor.

[Verse 3]
[Em]Up and down the guards are marching,
[D]No one, [Em]no one c[B]an get t[Em]hrough.
[G]Flight would mean a sure death facing,
[Am]Guns and [Em]barbed wire [B]block our [Em]view.
[D]We

[Verse 4]
[G]are the peat bog [D]soldiers,
[Em]Marching with our [B]spades to the [Em]moor.

[Verse 5]
[Em]But for us there is no complaining,
[D]Winter [Em]will in [B]time be [Em]past.
[G]One day we shall rise rejoicing.
[Am]Homeland, [Em]dear, you're [B]mine at [Em]last.[D]

[Verse 6]
[G]Then we're the peat bogs [D]soldiers,
[Em]March [G]no more [Em]with [B]spades [Em]to the moor.
