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

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 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
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

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
C B7
For this letter to arrive, you will be hear quite a while.
