[Verse 1]
Am    C       F Am
I was taken in
 Am      C                   F     Am
By a red devil with a charming grin
 Am        C               F       Am
And he and I were close as anything
 Am         C                      F           [open D]
But battles shake the ghosts from the carpeting
 
[Verse 2]
Am            C       F Am
And what did I receive
Am           C              F Am
For my loyalty to my beliefs?
Am             C  F                Am
Boots on my feet, banner in the air
Am           C                      F       [open D]
Shovel in my hand diggin' a hole to nowhere
 
[Chorus]
(strum chorus)
Am                      C                 F             G
And I will barricade myself inside my barracks, myself, me and I
Am                        C             F      G
And never have to look a traitor in the eye again
          Am            C                   F          G
And after all this is a War, and what are enemy lines for
           Am          C                   F     G
If not to separate the weaklings from the men?
 
[Verse 3]
Am     C       F Am
Heros never die
Am                   C                     F         Am
'Long as the battle survives, we too must stay alive
Am       C               F          Am
I can't believe it ended with a lie
            Am             C                F          [open D]
I'd like to talk to you about it if you've got the time
   Am         C               F Am
But there's no time to grieve
Am           C                   F
I must stay loyal to what I believe
    Am          C        F
And any part of me that dares to disagree
         Am             C                  F      [open D]
Will be buried deep beneath my pain and indignity
 
[Chorus]
(strum)
Am                      C                 F             G
And I will barricade myself inside my barracks, myself, me and I
Am                        C             F      G
And never have to look a traitor in the eye again
          Am            C                   F          G
And after all this is a War, and what are enemy lines for
           Am          C                   F     G
If not to separate the bleeders from the men?
 
[Interlude]
Am F C Dm
Am F C Dm
 
[Bridge]
Am           F              C       Dm
And if some day we were to make our Peace
Am          F          C      Dm
I would not want your apologies
Am             F               C    Dm
That's not the man I knew back then
      Am       F
Have faith, defend
         C            Dm
I'll be there in the end
 
[Chorus]
(strum)
           Am                  C                 F              G
And I will run outside with my banner held high, streaming blue across the sky
         Am                   C                  F       G
And I'll shake your hand and look you in the eye my friend
           Am            C                F            G
But until then this is a war and what are enemy lines for
           Am*          C*        F*    G*
If not to separate you from your fellow man?
