[Intro]
G Am7 C D G
 
[Verse 1]
G
Jamie Was A Friend Of Mine
     Am7
Who Used To Live Next Door
C                       D                 G
We We’re Young And The World Was Just For Fun
G
We Only Wanted To Play Soldiers
     Am7
And Did Not Ask For More
  C              D                G
Jamie Was Always On The Side That Won
        Am7             C        D       G
And We Shot Each other Dead With Plastic Guns
 
[Verse 2]
 G
We Knew There Was A War In Asia
Am7
But We Didn’t Know
C                  D             G
That Either One Of Us Would Ever Fight
G
But Jamie’s Dad Was Awful Glad
     Am7
That He Had A Son To Go
     C             D                 G
And Jamie Said His Dad Knew What Was Right
        Am7         C   D        G
And We Put Away His G I Joe That Night
 
[Chorus]
    C          D            G
Oh How Can We Ever Tell The Dead
          Am7                     Em
That The Cost Of Life Hasn’t Been Paid For
    C         D                 G
Oh How Can We Take Back What We Said
           Am7                  Em           C   D  G
When It’s Everything We’ve Ever Lived For
 
[Verse 3]
G
The Next Few Months We Spent Our Time
      Am7
Just Trying To Find A Way
    C               D               G
To Live 10 Years Of Friendship Over Again
G
The Time Finally Came And Brought The Train
     Am7
That Took Jamie Away
          C               D             G
And From That Day Forth I Can’t No More Pretend
     Am7                C    D      G
For That Was The Last I Ever Saw My Friend
 
[Chorus]
C          D            G
Oh How Can We Ever Tell The Dead
          Am7                     Em
That The Cost Of Life Hasn’t Been Paid For
    C         D                 G
Oh How Can We Take Back What We Said
           Am7                  Em           C   D  G
When It’s Everything We’ve Ever Lived For
 
[Verse 4]
G
Did He Die For Pride Or Freedom
       Am7
Well I Never Really Knew
           C            D            G
Or After Jamie Left His Family Moved Away
G
But I Always Wanted To Ask Them Why
     Am7
They Had Let Jamie Go
         C             D             G
Till I Finally Saw His Mom The Other Day
         Am7          D                 G
But She Really Didn’t Have That Much To Say
 
[Chorus]
C          D            G
Oh How Can We Ever Tell The Dead
          Am7                     Em
That The Cost Of Life Hasn’t Been Paid For
    C         D                 G
Oh How Can We Take Back What We Said
           Am7                  Em           C   D  G
When It’s Everything We’ve Ever Lived For
 
C          D            G
Oh How Can We Ever Tell The Dead
          Am7                     Em
That The Cost Of Life Hasn’t Been Paid For
    C         D                 G
Oh How Can We Take Back What We Said
           Am7                  Em           C   D  G
When It’s Everything We’ve Ever Lived For
