Lyrics
Little Red Flower © November 11, 2014 Stan Loh Intro Verse 1 E The little red flower pinned on the left of my coat, A E B7 So stately and sombre the stories it wrote, E The memories can’t buy you the tears that once fell, A E B7 The crosses and tombstones that bade them farewell. Verse 2 E One petal for courage that tasted the blood, A E B7 One petal for mistakes that ended in mud, E Another lone petal can’t tell where’s the limb, A E B7 The last crimson petal folded eyes going dim. Chorus A E Go buy a poppy to remember the dead, A E B7 Go buy a poppy cause the shores were all red, Bagpipe Instrumental Repeat Chorus Verse 3 E It rains in November and the cold will remind, A E B7 The dear ones were fallen for the ones left behind, E The young must remember the pain of the wars, A E B7 The little red flower will shame ever more. Repeat Chorus twice
