Capercaillie - Soldier Boy
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
F C Dm7 C
Marching once again under a myriad of stars
F C Dm7 Am
Young men to the cause where all is fair in love and war
F C Dm7 C
But rules are rules, and no mercy can be shown
F C Dm7 C
In the fields of the departed, where history is born
[Verse 2]
F C Dm7 C
In all the lines and prose of war and its ways
F C Dm7 Am
The words that speak the loudest are the ones that you would never say
F C Dm7 C
From Arras to the Somme and the hell of Passchendaele
F C Dm7 C
For ninety years and counting, since you told your bloody tale
[Chorus]
F G Am F
Hey, soldier boy, is your conscience clear?
C F
Is your mind on the road from hell and back
G F
To the one you love so dear?
G Am
I know you live in constant fear
F C Dm7 C
And that's just the way the world seems through roses and tears
[Interlude]
C F C F Am C F G/B C G
[Verse 3]
F C Dm7 C
When the battle cries no more, and the martyr's work is done
F C Dm7 Am
Did the voices in your head tell you to walk along the pathway
F C Dm7 C
Of the righteous and the good, and leave it all behind
F C Dm7 C
In the fields of the departed with the remnants of your mind?
