INTRO (see above)
| F | Dm | Bbmaj7 | G |

          Dm/F          G7     C
We met as soul mates on Parris Island,
   C/E     Dm/F         G7  C
We left as inmates from an asylum
            Em    Am           Em     Am
And we were sharp, as sharp as knives
            Dm            Dm/C            G/B   F/A  G
And we were so gung-ho to lay down our lives

           Dm/F         G7       C
We came in spastic like tameless horses,
   C/E     Dm/F       G7       C
We left in plastic as numbered corpses
               Em  Am         Em     Am
And we learned fast to travel light, 
              Dm            Dm/C         Bb
Our arms were heavy but our bellies were tight

INTRO 2 (see above)
| Bb | G | D | G7 |

          Dm/F           G7     C
We had no home front, we had no soft soap
     C/E     Dm/F          G7      C
They sent us Playboy, they gave us Bob Hope
          Em Am            Em     Am
We dug in deep and shot on sight
              Dm                Dm/C          G/B   F/A  G
And prayed to Jesus Christ with all of our might

          Dm/F       G7        C
We had no cameras to shoot the landscape
   C/E        Dm/F          G7         C
We passed the hash pipe and played our Doors tapes
           Em  Am           Em     Am
And it was dark, so dark at night
            Dm                     Dm/C            
And we held on to each other, like brother to brother,
   Bb           F/A          Gm
We promised our mothers we'd write

C/Bb         F/A    Bb     C       C/Bb
And we would all go down together,
             F/A    Bb G7/B C       C/Bb
We said we'd all go down  together,
              F/A    Bb Dm/A   [G7]
Yes, we would all go down    together

INTRO 3 (see above)
| G | F | Dm | G7 |


         Dm/F       G7     C
Remember Charlie, remember Baker,
     C/E        Dm/F         G7    C
They left their childhood on every acre
            Em   Am            Em     Am
And who was wrong? And who was right?
          Dm            Dm/C         [Bb]
It didn't matter in the thick of the fight

INTRO 4 (see above)
| Bb | G |

Am G/B      C   Dm     E    Dm/F   E     E-9  E  E7
We held the day in the palm of our hand
Am   G/B       C     Dm      E     Dm/F      G
They ruled the night and the night seemed to last as long as 

Dm/F         G7     C
Six weeks on Parris Island
   C/E      Dm/F            G7       C
We held the coastline, they held the highlands,
              Em    Am           Em     Am
And they were sharp, as sharp as knives,
               Dm                  Dm/C            
They heard the hum of motors, they counted the rotors
    Bb          F/A    Gm
And waited for us to arrive

C/Bb         F/A    Bb     C       C/Bb
And we would all go down together,
             F/A    Bb G7/B C       C/Bb
We said we'd all go down  together,
              F/A    Bb Dm/A   [G]
Yes, we would all go down    together
