Key: EmEm | Capo: 0fr |  Left-Handed 


Verse: 1

         Em                   C
Will you think of me when the west wind blows,
 D                 G
Upon the fields of poppies?
         Em                   C          G
Will you speak my name, say a prayer for me
       C        D          G
As you walk the streets of home?

Verse: 2

         Em                         C
With our friends we marched, in our innocence
   D                  G
To fight for king and country,
        Em                    C          G
And the few that came back to hearth and home
      C        D    G
Never spoke of war again.

Verse: 3

       Em                    C
As the whistles blew and our hearts were filled
     D                    G
With thoughts of home and family,
         Em                    C       G
climbing from the trench, over tops we spilled,
   C       D       G
To run and then to fall.

Bridge:
C                D       G
I never made the journey back home,
C                   D        G
The muddy ground of Flanders kept me,
C                    D       Em
But I know that I'll see you again
          C       D        G
And we'll walk in heaven's fields,
      C       D        G
We'll walk in heaven's fields.

Verse: 4

        Em                      C
Now the rows of graves, shining in the sun,
   D             G
Forever mark our passing.
         Em                   C          G
Will you speak my name, say a prayer for me
      C         D          G
As you walk the streets of home?

Verse: 5

         Em                   C
Will you think of me when the west wind blows,
 D                 G
Upon the fields of poppies?
         Em                   C          G
Will you speak my name, say a prayer for me
       C        D          G
As you walk the streets of home?
       C        D          Em
As you walk the streets of home?
       C        D          G
As you walk the streets of home?
