Intro:Em
                        A7
I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me
      C                             B7
To go looking for the enemy, and it wasn't very long
Em                         A7
Before I would stand with another boy in front of me
      C                                   B7                     D
And a corpse that just fell into me, with bullets flying around

        G                                                A7
And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on
      C                                        B7
And I bet you're making shells back home for a steady boy to wear
          G                                    A7
Round his neck, well it won't hurt to think of you as if you're waiting
                  C                         B7
For this letter to arrive, you will be hear quite a while

I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me
      C                              B7
To go looking for the enemy, and it wasn't very long
Em                          A7
Before I found out that the sickness there ahead of me
     C                                B7
Went beyond the bedsit infamy, of the decade gone before

        G                                                A7
And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on

And I bet you're making shells back home for a steady boy to wear
          G                                    A7
Round his neck, well it won't hurt to think of you as if you're waiting

Break: Em, A7, C, B7 x2

Em                       A7
I fought in a war, and I didn't know when it would end
   C                                B7
It stretched before me infinitly, I really couldn't think
Em                               A7
Of the day beyond now, keep your head down pal
               C                                        B7
Theres trouble plenty in this hour, this day, I can see hope I can see the
light

        G                                                A7
And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on
      C                                        B7
And I bet you're making shells back home for a steady boy to wear
          G                                    A7
Round his neck, well it won't hurt to think of you as if you're waiting
