On July 31st 1943 a bloody round in the battle 
                G 
For the Solomon Islands was being fought in the tangled 
Em 
Jungle of the island of New Georgia 
     G 
This is the story of one of the young men who fought and died there 
                          D7 
This song is respectfully dedicated to those heroic infantrymen 
C               G 
Who like Rodger Young have sacrificed their lives 
           Em                          G 
That their nation might remain forever free 
 
 
 
 
 
D7                          G          D7  G 
Caught in ambush lay a company of riflemen 
     D7                                   G 
Just grenades against machine guns in the gloom 
          C                              G    Em 
Caught in ambush till this one of twenty riflemen 
G                          D7       G 
Volunteered volunteered to meet his doom 
 
                   Bm 
Volunteered Rodger Young 
G                              Bm      Em 
Fought and died for the men he marched among 
G      C                   G           Em 
In the everlasting courage of the infantry 
G                          D7     G 
Was the courage of Private Rodger Young 
 
       D7                           G 
On the island of New Georgia in the Solomon's 
         D7                           G 
Stands a simple wooden cross alone to tell 
     C                               G   Em 
That beneath the silent coral of the Solomon's 
G                         D7         G 
Sleeps a man sleeps a man remembered well 
 
Am       G   D7     G 
Sleeps a man Rodger Young 
D7         G                   Bm      Em 
Fought and died for the men he marched among 
G      C                 G           Em 
In the everlasting glory of the infantry 
G                          D7     G 
Lives the story of Private Rodger Young
