The Gamekeeper Cifras

This is my interpretation. It might not be 100% accurate, but I think it's close. Feel free to send amends.
 
 
[Verse 1]
	C		G
In Devonshire I was a keeper,
	C		G
Half my life I lived outdoors.
	D	 	Em
Using skills my father taught me,
	C		G
On land that edged the open moors.
 
[Verse 2]
	C		G
I'd cut the snares of every poacher,
	C		G
Rising hours before the sun.
	D		Em
I set traps and planted cover,
	C		G
And drove the birds towards the guns.
 
[Verse 3]
	C		G
I fought in France like half this county,
	C		G
With all the skills I brought from home.
	D		Em
I set traps and laid the wires,
	C		G
Til the earth grew red as Devon's own.
 
[Verse 4]
	C		G
July the first, nineteen sixteen,
	C		G
We early rose, passed round the rum.
	D		Em
The whistles blew and we broke cover,
	C		G
And walked in line towards the guns.
	C		G
We walked in line towards the guns.
 
[Verse 5]
	C		G
Back on the land, I hire the beaters,
	C		G
And when the glorious twelfth has come.
	D		Em
We stand in line, we wait in silence,
	C		G
And walk once more towards the guns.
 
[Refrain]
        C                   G
We walk towards the waiting guns.
        C                   G
We walk towards the waiting guns.
        C                   G
We walk towards the waiting guns.
