We have shared the day's load | B |
To the old march again | C |
We have tramped the long road | B |
We have laughed we have cried | D |
And we've tossed the King's crown | E |
We have fought we have died | D |
And we've trod the day down | E |
So it's lift the old song | F |
Ere the night flies again | C |
Where the road leads along | F |
Through the shine through the rain | A |

Long ago far away | G |
Came a sign from the skies | H |
And we feared then to pray | G |
For the new sun to rise | H |
With the King there at hand | I |
Not a child stepped or stirred | J |
Where the light filled the land | I |
And the light brought the word | J |
For we knew then the gleam | K |
Though we feared then the day | G |
And the dawn smote the dream | K |
Long ago far away | G |
- | |
But the road leads us all | L |
For the King now is dead | M |
And we know stand or fall | L |
We have shared the day's bread | M |
We may laugh down the dream | K |
For the dream breaks and flies | H |
And we trust now the gleam | K |
For the gleam never dies | H |
So it's off now the load | B |
For we know the night's call | L |
And we know now the road | B |
And the road leads us all | L |
- | |
Through the shine through the rain | A |
We have wrought the day's quest | N |
To the old march again | C |
We have earned the day's rest | N |
We have laughed we have cried | D |
And we've heard the King's groans | O |
We have fought we have died | D |
And we've burned the King's bones | O |
And we lift the old song | F |
Ere the night flies again | C |
Where the road leads along | F |
Through the shine through the rain | A |
