[Intro]
A
On July 31st 1943 a bloody round in the battle for the Solomon Islands

Was being fought in the tangled jungle of the island of New Georgia

This is the story of one of the young men who fought and died there
A
This song is respectfully dedicated to those heroic infantrymen

Who like Rodger Young have sacrificed their lives

That their nation might remain forever free

[Verse 1]
E A
Caught in ambush lay a company of riflemen
E A
Just grenades against machine guns in the gloom
D A F#m
Caught in ambush till this one of twenty riflemen
A E A
Volunteered volunteered to meet his doom
G A E A G A
Volunteered Rodger Young fought and died
Em A Gm F#m
for the men he marched among
A D A F#m
In the everlasting courage of the infantry
E A E A
was the courage of Private Rodger Young

[Verse 2]
E A
On the island of New Georgia in the Solomons
E A A7
Stands a simple wooden cross alone to tell
D A F#m
That beneath the silent coral of the Solomons
A E A
Sleeps a man sleeps a man remembered well
G A E A G A
Sleeps a man Rodger Young fought and died
Em A G#m F#m
for the men he marched among
A D A F#m
In the everlasting glory of the infantry
E A E A
lives the story of Private Rodger Young

I used e-chords and ChordU for this, but neither was entirely correct. I am still
not happy with the G#m F#m chord progressions in each stanza's "marched among." I've
spent a few hours on this, and it's just not exact. I would be quite pleased if
someone were able to find the exact chord that he sings.
