[Verse 1]
             G5 (w/ Riff A)
I've got my clipboard, text books
 
Lead me to the station
          G5
Yeah, I'm off to the civil war
      F  F#  G5 (w/ Riff A - 1st & 3rd measures)
I've got my kit bag, my heavy boots
 
I'm running in the rain
         G5                        D5 C5
Going to run till my feet are raw
 
[Chorus 1]
C5        F5        Eb5        Bb5
Slip kid, slip kid, second generation
          C5       F5            G5
And I'm a soldier at thirteen
A5        D5       A5      D5
Slip kid, slip kid, realization
          A5       D5     Bb
There's no easy way to be free
               C8  D8     G5   C5
No easy way to be free
     F5            G5      F  F#  G
It's a hard, hard world

[Verse 2]
           G5
I left my doctor's prescription bungalow behind me
G5
I left the door ajar
     F  F#   G5
I've got my vacuum flask
 
Full of hot tea and sugar
          G5                   D5 C5
Left the keys right in my car
 
[Chorus 2]
C5        F5        Eb5        Bb5
Slip kid, slip kid, second generation
      C5       F5
Only half way up the tree
A5        D5        A5       D5
Slip kid, slip kid, I'm a relation
       A5        D5          Bb
I'm a soldier at sixty-three
               C8  D8
No easy way to be free

Slip kid

Slip kid
G7sus4
Keep away old man, you won't fool me
G7sus4
You and your history won't rule me
G7sus4
You might have been a fighter, but admit you failed
G7sus4
I'm not affected by your blackmail
G7sus4
You won't blackmail me
