I think B can be played also as B7, but i am not sure.
Em A
I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me
C B
To go looking for the enemy, and it wasnt very long
Em A
Before I would stand with another boy in front of me
C B
And a corpse that just fell into me, with the bullets flying round...
1st chorus:
G Am
And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on
C B
And I bet youre making shells back home for a steady boy to wear
G Am
Round his neck, well it wont hurt to think of you as if youre waiting for
C B
This letter to arrive because Ill be here quite a while
2nd verse:
Em A
I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me
C B
To go looking for the enemy, and it wasnt very long
Em A
Before I found out that the sickness there ahead of me
C B
Went beyond the bedsit infamy of the decade gone before
2nd chorus:
G Am
And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on
C B
And I bet youre making shells back home for a steady man to wear
G Am
Round his neck, well it wont hurt to think of you as if youre waiting for
C B
This letter to arrive because Ill be here quite a while
3rd Verse:
Em A
I fought in a war, and I didn't know where it would end
C B
It stretched before me infinitely, I couldn't really think
Em A
Of the day beyond now, keep your head down pal
C
There's trouble plenty in this hour, this day
B
I can see hope I can see light
3rd Chorus
G Am
And I reminded myself of the looks you gave when we were getting on
C B
And I bet youre making shells back home for a steady man to wear
G Am
Round his neck, well it wont hurt to think of you as if youre waiting for
C B
This letter to arrive because Ill be here quite a while
