Nothing to Do all day but stay in bed
GmYou´re in the army now

Am DmOh, oh you´re in the army - now

Hand grenades flying over your head
 
 
EmThe sun´s flying over your head
 
If you wanna survive you´re out of bet
AmYou´re in the army now
Bm EmOh, oh you´re in the army - now
 
 
 
EmShots ring out in the dead of night
 
The sergeant calls : "Stand up and fight!"
AmYou´re in the army now
Bm EmOh, oh you´re in the army - now
 
 
 
EmYou´ve got your orders to shoot on sight
 
your finger´s on the trigger but it don´t seem right
AmYou´re in the army now
Bm EmOh, oh you´re in the army - now
 
 
 
Guitar solo
 
 
 
EmNight is falling and you just can´t see
 
Is this illusion or reality
AmYou´re in the army now
Bm EmOh, oh you´re in the army - now
 
 
AmYou´re in the army now
Bm Em } - playing N times with fill 2
Oh, oh you´re in the army - now /
