D               B7 
Hello darling, this is the army, 
      Em 
I've just got the time to write, 
   A 
Today we attack, there's no turning back, 
     D                G             D    A 
The boys they're all ready for the fight, 

 D                       B7 
Yes, I'm well but this place is like hell, 
      Em 
They call it Passchendaele, 
    A 
In nineteen seventeen the war must be ending, 
             D           G             D 
The General said this attack will not fail, 

         G                              F# 
So I'm writing down this simple little melody 
           Bm        F#m            Em F# 
When you play it my love, think of me... 
            Em             D    A   D  Em 
We'll be together in this song for you, 
    A       D       B7 Em A D G D  
And it goes La la la...  
 A               D       B7 Em A D G D A 
Sing it darling, La la la... 

      D                    B7 
They got old Bill and the Sergeant is still out there, 
 Em 
Wounded in some shellhole, 
      A 
They say this war will end all wars, 
    D            G       D   A 
Oh God I really hope it will, 
     
    D                 B7 
Oh how's old England, are they still singing 
       Em 
Those songs that we loved to sing, 
     A 
When all this is over, we'll go sailing in Dover, 
          D           G                 D  
Catching fish like we used to with a string, 

      G                       F# 
Oh I miss you, I miss you, I miss you so! 
         Bm        F#m            Em F# 
If they get me my love you will know... 
                   Em             D    A   D  Em 
We'll always be together in this song for you... 
    A       D       B7 Em A D G D  
And it goes La la la...  
   A             D B7 Em A D G D A  D B7 Em A D G D A  D B7 Em A D G D A 
I have to go now...
