Verse 1:
   A                 Dbm
I can hear the cannons calling
    Ab                Dbm
As though across a dream
   Dbm                Dbm
And I can smell the smoke of Hell
     E               Ab
In every stitch and seam
         A                  Dbm
And like flowers, the bodies tumble
  Ab                 Dbm
Around this muddied lot
  Dbm                Dbm
I cannot hear them scream
     Ab       Dbm
‘Forget me not.’
 
Verse 2:
     A               Dbm
Your voice it carries over
    Ab              Dbm
The hubbub and the hum
        Dbm                Dbm
And it paints the sky and circles high
         E            Ab
Like the beating of a drum
         Dbm                  Dbm
You will scream ‘I won’t forget you’
          Ab            Dbm
But I’ll cover my cold ears
   Dbm          Dbm
It cannot be a lie
    Ab      Dbm
If no-one hears.
 
Verse 3:
         A                Dbm
Cos although you say good day to me
    Ab            Dbm
I know I don’t belong
       Dbm                 Dbm
And although you hold my hand and say
    E                   Ab
‘I love you’, you are wrong.
         A            Dbm
Because love does not exist here
         Ab                 Dbm
In this garden there’s no feeling
         A              Dbm
And you say the words so often
        Ab               Dbm
That I barely know the meaning
         A                  Dbm
And when all the flowers are rotten
    Ab                 Dbm
And all the cannons shot
       Dbm                   Dbm
I’ll scream, but you won’t hear
     Ab      Dbm
‘Forget me not’
 
Verse 4:
        A                  Dbm
And in years to come you’ll wander
         Ab             Dbm
To the place up on our hill
      Dbm                    Dbm
And then you’ll cry to our painted sky
    E                 Eb7   
‘I loved him then, I love him still’.
              A                Dbm
And you’ll strew some sage and lilies,
     Ab             Dbm
And roses where I rot
   A                    Dbm
Of all the flowers you picked,
   A                Dbm
I knew you would forget
    Ab      Dbm
Forget-me-nots.
