Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Do  I hear what I think  Im hearing
Do  I see the signs I think  I see
Or  is it just fantasy
 Is it true that the beast  is waking
Stirring  in his restless sleep  tonight
 In the pale moon  light
In  the grip of this cold  December
You  and I have reason  to remember
Soldiers  write the songs that soldiers  sing the songs that you  and I  dont sing
 They blow their horns and march  along they  drum their drums and look  so strong
Youd  think that nothing in  the world was wrong
Soldiers  write the songs that soldiers  sing the songs that you  and I  wont  sing
Lets  look the other way  taking  a chance
 Cause if  the bugler starts to play  we  too must dance.
 Whats that sound, whats that dreadful rumble, wont somebody tell me what I hear
 In the distance but drawing near
 Is it only a storm approaching
 All that thunder and the blinding light in the winter night
 In the grip of this cold December
 You and I have reason to remember
