(Em A Am B7) 
I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me 
To go looking for the enemy, and it wasn't very long 
Before I would stand with another boy in front of me 
And a corpse that just fell into me, with the bullets flying round 
 
(G Am C B7) 
And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on 
And I bet you're making shells back home for a steady boy to wear 
Round his neck, well it won't hurt to think of you as if you're waiting for 
This letter to arrive because I'll be here quite a while 
 
(Em A Am B7x2 D 
I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me 
To go looking for the enemy, and it wasn't very long 
Before I found out that the sickness there ahead of me 
Went beyond the bedsit infamy of the decade gone before 
 
(G Am C B7) 
And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on 
And I bet you're making shells back home for a steady man to wear 
Round his neck, well it won't hurt to think of you as if you're waiting for 
This letter to arrive because I'll be here quite a while 
 
(E A Am B7x2 D 
 
(Em A Am B7) 
I fought in a war, and I didn't know where it would end 
It stretched before me infinitely, I couldn't really think 
Of the day beyond now, keep your head down pal 
There's trouble plenty in this hour, this day 
I can see hope I can see light 
 
(G Am C B7) 
And I reminded myself of the looks you gave when we were getting on 
And I bet you're making shells back home for a steady man to wear 
Round his neck, well it won't hurt to think of you as if you're waiting for 
This letter to arrive because I'll be here quite a while  
 
(Em A Am B7x2 D
