| I was just aiming at the jagged hole | C |
| Torn in the yellow sandbags of their trench | D |
| When something threw me sideways with a wrench | D |
| And the skies seemed to shrivel like a scroll | C |
| And disappear and propped against the bole | C |
| Of a big elm I lay and watched the clouds | E |
| Float through the blue deep sky in speckless crowds | E |
| And I was clean again and young and whole | C |

| Lord what a dream that was And what a doze | F |
| Waiting for Bill to come along to class | G |
| I've cut it now and he Oh hello Fred | H |
| Why what's the matter here don't be an ass | G |
| Sit down and tell me What do you suppose | F |
| I dreamed I am I wounded 'You are dead ' | - |
