Biography:
Harvey Andrews (born Harvey John Andrews, May 7, 1943 in Birmingham) is an English singer, songwriter, and poet.
From 1964, Andrews supported his nascent career as a singer/songwriter by working as a schoolteacher, before becoming a full-time professional musician in 1966.
Andrews has produced 15 successful albums singing his own songs, many of which have also been recorded by other artists.
His emotive The Soldier transmits the same quiet desperation of a soldier about to die "in conflict" as Wilfred Owen's Dulce Et Decorum Est

There's no name on the stone I sleep under today
C Cm G
There's no book that can tell of my time
F
But you know me so well when you sing roundelay
C Cm G
For you're singing my tune and my rhyme
D G
I am Anon, you know me that way
C G
I had something to say about life in my day
D G
So I made a song and somewhere the sound of it
C G
Goes round and round, to be lost and then found
D
And that is the way that life is
That is the way it is with songs
-------------------------
VERSE 2
********
G F
It was in the alehouse, I would sing with the rest
C Cm G
Then I made up a tune of my own
F
And a full harvest moon put the words in my head
C Cm G
As I trudged 'cross the fields to my home
D G
When I sang it next day, my friends asked me how
C G
Did I find my own song in the blade of my plough
D G
So I asked in return how the stonemason saw
C G
A sweet face in the stone on the old quarry floor
D
They asked, “Is that the way that it is?”
I said, “That is the way it is for me”
-------------------------
VERSE 3
********
G F
So they learned every word and they sang every note
C Cm G
Till my song was a work of renown
F
And within a six month I heard boys from the school
C Cm G
Whistling my tune in the town
D G
And I smiled when I heard what came out of the sky
C G
Coming now from a child as he quickly ran by
D G
Would it pass from that child, when as father he'd sing
C G
To a child of his own? Who'd believe such a thing
D
But that is the way that life is
That is the way it is with time

VERSE 4

G F
It was twenty years gone, when our parson came home
C Cm G
From a journey he'd made far away
F
He shook my hand hard, said the inn where he'd stayed
C Cm G
Had some men who sang there every day
D G
And he'd listened with joy, as one with a bow
C G
Sang the song that I'd found in the blade of my plough
D G
So he told them my name, but they said that my song
C G
Was as old as the hills, and our parson was wrong
D
I asked, "Is that the way that life is?"
He said, "That is the way it is, my son"
-------------------------
VERSE 5
********
G F
So I worked and ploughed till my bones bowed and bent
C Cm G
I made up no more verses to sing
F
And it seemed that my life had been wasted and spent
C Cm G
On the curses my hard day would bring
D G
Soon death came to call with a voice that cried "Now!"
C G
And the song that I'd found in the blade of my plough
D G
Leaped from my heart as I journeyed on
C G
And I knew it would live, even though I was gone
D
And that is the way that it is
That is the way it is for us all

We are Anon, you know us that way

And that is the way that life is
That is the way it is with songs
