C Em
As a schoolboy I played with a plastic grenade
F G C
It was grey and with caps it was loaded
F C Am
In the dirt we would cry and dramatically die
F G C
As it flew through the air and exploded
E Am
As a young man my dream was to be a marine
F G
My flag was worth all I could bring it
C Em
The country was young. When the anthem was sung
F G C
It gave me the goosebumps to sing it
F C
I was born on the fourth of July
F G
No-one more loyal than I
C Em
When my country said so I was ready to go
F G C
And I wish I'd been left there to die
