I toasted you when we first met

The name I gave you,..!! now I forget

You’d never seen the ocean and you had no rings to show

We left a green Virginia in my car

You said,..!! “how far we going!!..?”,..!! and I said,..!! “not far”

Battlefields and places that dead men lay

The things I once dreamed now I know

Bm           A           D     C#             Bm
The facts as reported,..!! I don’t remember them so

       G                                 Em
But the truth sleeps out here amongst the waves

         G                       D         C#     Bm
While the gulls scream and forage above our sandy graves


[Chorus]~
Em                    G       A G A G
Swallow me now,..!! bottomland
