Verse
1]:A E5
Sixteen years old when I went to the war,
D5 A
To fight for a land fit for heroes,
[A] [E5]
God on my side, and a gun in my hand,
D5 A
Chasing my days down to zero,
[A] [E5]
And I marched and I fought and I bled and I died,
D5 A
And I never did get any older,
[A] [E5]
But I knew at the time that a year in the line,
D5 A
Was a long enough life for a soldier,
A5 x3
Verse
2]: A E5
We all volunteered, and we wrote down our names,
D5 A
And we added two years to our ages,
[A] [E5]
Eager for life and ahead of the game,
D5 A
Ready for history’s pages,
[A] [E5]
And we brawled and we fought and we whored ’til we stood,
D5 A
Ten thousand shoulder to shoulder,
[A] [E5]
A thirst for the Hun, we were food for the gun,
D5 A
And that’s what you are when you’re soldiers,
Solo

A5 x3
Verse
3]: C5 G
I heard my friend cry, and he sank to his knees,
F5 C5
Coughing blood as he screamed for his mother,
C5 G
And I fell by his side, and that’s how we died,
F5 C5
Clinging like kids to each other,
C5 G
And I lay in the mud and the guts and the blood,
F5 C5
And I wept as his body grew colder,
C5 G
And I called for my mother and she never came,
Bb F5
Though it wasn’t my fault and I wasn’t to blame,
C5 G
And the day’s not half over and ten thousand slain,
Bb F5
And now there’s nobody remembers our names..
Outro
F5 C5
And that’s how it is for a soldier..
