Soldiers
James Taylor (c) 1971

A -
       D            C          G           A
It was just after sun-rise and down by the sea
Em          Bm               G            A
down on the sand flats where nothing will grow
     D            C              G        A
come drumming and footsteps like out of a dream
          Em           Bm           A - 
where the golden green waters come in.

     D          C            G                A
Just nine lucky soldiers had come through the night
Em           Bm          G         A
half of them wounded and barely alive
     D            C           G          A
Just nine out of twenty was a-headed for home
     Em           Bm        C G A -
with eleven sad stories to tell.

    C            G              Em         Bm
I remember quite clearly when I got out of bed
         C             G          Em        A         G A.
I said, "Oh, good morning. What a beautiful day."

Soldiers - James Taylor
James Taylor - Soldiers (cover) This is a song from the album "Mud Slide Slim And The Blue Horizon", James Taylor's third album. The album was released in April 1971 as the follow-up of his commercial breakthrough and critical triumph "Sweet Baby James". This is my strummed version of a song that tells of the sadness and consequences of war. This is dedicated to CSM John Tapia, a hero that recently passed away... from the lingering effects of Agent Orange....
