Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Just  another rusty brother
Seeing  his old role  replayed
 Looking in the world  like a broken mirror
Seeing  his old face displayed
 They come and go, come and go
Why  do you advertise goodbye
 Living a lie  will lay  you low,  what  can I tell you, what  can I sell you
But  the truth will make you high
Death  is unreal that's the way  I feel
 There's more  to be  revealed
Lovers  and friends meet again  and again
 On the dear old
 On the dear old
 On the dear old battlefield
 (Identical to the first half of the verse)
I  will see my memory lightly  let  me go
 I know that we  will always be  but time  pass fast  and slow
 Agelong cradlesong almost  had me sleeping for good
 If not for the plan  of the magic man  who finally  helped me out  of the wood.
 (Identical to chorus)
 Keep playing Em until..
 On the dear old battlefield
 Seriously that was the last tweak, now it's correct.
