[Verso 1]
      A 
I was named after my father 
                     Dadd9 
In a long line of nobodies 
                  F#m7 
Waiting for the future 
         C#7                 Dadd9 
For that turn of the century 
           A 
And I was merely cannon fodder 
                    Dadd9 
In the nineteenth cavalry 
                     F#m7 
Waiting, waiting, waiting 
            C#7                   Dadd9 
To sing "Nearer, My God, to Thee"

         A 
Well, the first night that I saw her 
                         Dadd9 
Was the last night of my leave 
                 F#m7 
A stranger in a strange land 
         C#7           Dadd9 
Where an angel came to  me

[Verso 3]
         A 
And I dreamed of Jacob's ladder 
                       Dadd9 
When I laid me down to sleep 
                               F#m7 
And the souls all rising and falling 
            C#7           Dadd9 
Through the whole of eternity 
       A 
I was named after my father 
                     Dadd9 
In a long line of nobodies 
                 F#m7 
And all I ever wanted 
        C#7             Dadd9 
Was someone to weep for  me
