CAPO 1ST FRET , all chord positions are relative to capo.
Eg. G= G# D=Eb C=C#
Key of G#
I think? Eric plays it in 4/4 timing, but 3./4 timing works well also. Before you come into the first verse try creating a little run on the C chord I tend to do something like pick the B string then the G , D pulloff to a hammer-on , G ,D pulloff. Just anything that will lead you into the first verse.

Verse 1

LAm RE LAm RE SOL and war seems somehow very far away, on this sunny dedication day.
SOL RE DOThey marched to a memorial, built by and for their own,
SOL RE DO REa simple wall of remembrance of brick and steel and stone.

Verse 3
