Grave Of The Unknown Soldier

G

G
I sure do love to visit my great great great grandfather
           C                  G
Who served our great southern land
                       C         G
In a field filled with beautiful stones
           Em                  D
And many a brave and honorable man
                   C               Am
And out of all the plots I stop to see
            Em
There's one more
C                  G       D     Em
That always brings me down to my knees
   C
It reads:
D     Em      C       D           G
"Here lies an unknown Confederate soldier
      Em          C
known only but to God
D              G
may he rest in peace"

C
What was his name
G
Where did he come from
         C
Was he a middle aged man wise of the world
     G                 D
Or a boy that died too young
     C            D              G        D     Em
His identity is a mystery to everyone but Jesus alone
C                   D
Thank you, sir, for whoever you were
        G            D        Em
In this grave that's marked "Unknown"
    D           C           D        Em         G
His family knew only that he left to defend his land
    D              G
And never returned home
