I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me
To go looking for the enemy, and it wasn't very long
Em A7Before I would stand with another boy in front of me
C B7 DAnd 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
And I bet you're making shells back home for a steady boy to wear
G A7Round his neck, well it won't hurt to think of you as if you're waiting
C B7For 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
To go looking for the enemy, and it wasn't very long
Em A7Before I found out that the sickness there ahead of me
C B7Went 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 A7Round his neck, well it won't hurt to think of you as if you're waiting
C B7For this letter to arrive, you will be hear quite a while
Break: Em, A7, C, B7 x2
I fought in a war, and I didn't know when it would end
C B7It stretched before me infinitly, I really couldn't think
Em A7Of the day beyond now, keep your head down pal
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
And I bet you're making shells back home for a steady boy to wear
G A7Round his neck, well it won't hurt to think of you as if you're waiting
C B7For this letter to arrive, you will be hear quite a while.
End with Em, A7, C, B7
