A PITTANCE OF TIME by Terry Kelly
(arranged in paste-to-word friendly format)
Capo 2nd Fret

Intro:  G C F G     Am F C  G

G They C fought and some Am died for their F home G land 
They C fought and some Am died now it’s F our G land 
Look at F his little Am child, there’s no F fear in her C eyes 
Could he Am not show C respect for F other dads who have G died

Take two C minutes, would you Am mind? It’s a F pittance of G time 
For the C boys and the Am girls who F went G over 
In C peace may they Am rest, may we F never forGget…
Why they Am died… F It’s a pittance of G time 

G God forC give me for Am wanting to F strike G him 
Give me C strength so as Am not to be F like G him 
My heart F pounds in my C breast, fingers F pressed to my Am lips 
My throat C wants to bawl Am out, my tongue F barely G resists 

But two C minutes I will Am bide, it’s a F pittance of G time 
For the C boys and the Am girls who F went G over 
In C peace may they Am rest, may we F never forGget
why they C died... F it’s a pittance of G time

G C F G     Am F C  G

Read the C letters and Am poems of the F heroes at G home 
They have C casualties, Am battles, and F fears of their G own 
There’s a F price to be C paid if you Am go, if you G stay 
Freedom’s Am fought for and C won in F numerous G ways 

Take two C minutes, would you Am mind? It’s a F pittance of G time
For the C boys and the Am girls all F over G 
May we C never Am forget our F young become G vets 
At the Am end of the C line… F it’s a pittance of G time

It takes C courage to Am fight in your F own G war 
It takes C courage to Am fight someone F else’s G war 
Our F peacekeepers Am tell of their F own living Am hell 
They bring C hope to foreign Am lands that the hate F mongers can’t G kill

Take two C minutes, would you Am mind? It’s a F pittance of G time
For the C boys and the Am girls who go F over G
In F peace time our C best still F don battle Am dress
And lay their C lives on the Am line... F it’s a pittance of G time

In C peace may they Am rest
Glest we forAmget why they C died
F Take a pittance of G time
