\n[C<\/em>]<\/strong> Some got married, [G<\/em>]<\/strong> some had their numbers [C<\/em>]<\/strong> called
\nSome [F<\/em>]<\/strong> came back, [G<\/em>]<\/strong> some gave it [C<\/em>]<\/strong> all
\nGot their [F<\/em>]<\/strong> names etched on a black granite [G<\/em>]<\/strong> wall<\/p>\n
