Thanks very much! I've got this other section of the song: Jagged mountains jutting out/Cracked like teeth in a rotting mouth see: http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2011/feb/03/hail-hail-rock-n-roll whilst the shimmering, Gallipoli-referencing “On Battleship Hill” uses a choirgirl voice to describe “jagged mountains... like teeth in a rotting mouth”.

what I hear: The scent of thyme carried on the wind strings my face into remembering cruel nature has won again cruel nature has won again On Battleship Hill's caved in trenches a hateful feeling still lingers even now 80 years later cruel nature cruel cruel nature The land returns to how its always been Thyme carried on the wind Jagged mountains jutting out cracked like teeth in a rotten mouth On Battleship Hill I hear the wind sing cruel nature has won again cruel nature has won again cruel nature has won again cruel nature has won again |

I thought it would be 'time' seeing as she's talking about remembering, and the land returning to how it's always been and such.

This is easy, too. I sing the first verse like the next verses, so it's more a standard folk song, using Am, G, F. |

Hey, this is how I play it, think it's slightly dodgy in places though  On Battleship Hill Intro: G C/G F Dm x 7 G C/G F Am (Slow strumming) Am E F The scent of Thyme carried on the wind G F Am Stings my face into remembering Am E F Cruel nature has won again G F Am Cruel nature has won again. Am (Pick up strumming pace) Am E F On Battleship Hill’s caved in trenches G F Am A hateful feeling still lingers Am E F Even now eighty years later, G F Am Cruel nature, cruel, cruel nature. Instrumental: G C/G F Dm x 3 G C/G F Am Am E F The land returns to how it’s always been G F Am Thyme carried on the wind Am E F Jagged mountains jutting out G F Am Cracked like teeth in a rotten mouth Am E F On Battleship Hill I hear the wind G F Am Sing ‘cruel nature has won again’. G C/G F Am Cruel nature has won again. G C/G F Am Cruel nature has won again (Stay on am for longer note on ‘again’) G C/G F Am Cruel nature has won again. Repeat G C/G F Am to end. |
