Em A
I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me

C B
And a corpse that just fell into me, with the bullets flying round...

G Am
And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on

And I bet youre making shells back home for a steady boy to wear

This letter to arrive because Ill be here quite a while
In the second

Went beyond the bedsit infamy of the decade gone before
