LEVELLERS - "another mans cause" Tablature

From: jeremya@pavilion.co.uk (Jeremy Aston)

Another Man's Cause
===================

By the Levellers - From the album "Levelling the Land"
------------------------------------------------------

This is a great song. Simple to play (like most of the Leveller's stuff),
but is enhanced by adding rythmic hammer-ons and pull-offs in the latter
stages. Listen to the song and get into it...

Verse 1

Am
Gunshots shatter in the peace of night
G
It's just another firefight
F G
For the people of this little town
Am
But for the dying soldier
G
Well he's feeling ten years older
F G
As he's lying face down on the ground
Am
All the words that are in his head
G
And all the words that his mother said
F G
As she would put him to bed back home

Chorus

Fighting for another man's cause

Am
Everyday she sees your face
G
On the picture on the fireplace
F G
With your brother as he was leaving school
Am
Then a day came five years ago
G
You said "Mother, I need to know"
F G
And you spoke the words your brother spoke before
Am
"I know the things my Daddy done
G
And I've seen the medals that he's won
F G G Am
And I know this is what he would have wanted for me
