[Intro]
Em Em Em Em
I fought in a war, And I
Am Am Am Am
left my friends behind me
G Am Am Am Am
To go looking for the enemy
Am B B B B
And it wasn't very long

[Verse 1]
Em Em Em B
Before I would stand
G Am Am Am
With another boy in front of me
C C C C C
And a corpse that just fell into me
C B B B
With the bullets flying 'round

[Chorus 1]
G G G G C Am
And I reminded myself of the words you said
Am Am Am Am
When we were getting on
C C C C C
And I bet you're making shells back home
C B B B B
For a steady boy to wear
G G G G Am
'Round his neck well, it won't hurt to think of you

[Bridge]
Am Am Am Am Am
As if you're waiting for this letter to arrive
C B B B G
Because I'll be here quite a while

[Verse 2]
Em Em
I fought in a war
Am Am Am Am
And I left my friends behind me
Am Am Am Am C
To go looking for the enemy
B B B B
And it wasn't very long

[Verse 3]
Em Em
Before I found out
Am Am Am Am
That the sickness there ahead of me
Am Am Am Am C
Went beyond the bedsit infamy
B G G G
Of the decade gone before

[Chorus 2]
G G G Am
I reminded myself of the words you said
Am Am Am Am
When we were getting on
