Am x4
[Verse 1]:
A E5Sixteen years old when I went to the war,
D5 ATo fight for a land fit for heroes,
A E5God on my side, and a gun in my hand,
D5 AChasing my days down to zero,
A E5And I marched and I fought and I bled and I died,
D5 AAnd I never did get any older,
A E5But I knew at the time that a year in the line,
D5 AWas a long enough life for a soldier,
A5 x3
[Verse 2]:
A E5We all volunteered, and we wrote down our names,
D5 AAnd we added two years to our ages,
A E5Eager for life and ahead of the game,
D5 AReady for history’s pages,
A E5And we brawled and we fought and we whored ’til we stood,
D5 ATen thousand shoulder to shoulder,
A E5A thirst for the Hun, we were food for the gun,
D5 AAnd that’s what you are when you’re soldiers,

[Verse 3]:
C5 GI heard my friend cry, and he sank to his knees,
F5 C5Coughing blood as he screamed for his mother,
C5 GAnd I fell by his side, and that’s how we died,
F5 C5Clinging like kids to each other,
C5 GAnd I lay in the mud and the guts and the blood,
F5 C5And I wept as his body grew colder,
C5 GAnd I called for my mother and she never came,
Bb F5Though it wasn’t my fault and I wasn’t to blame,
C5 GAnd the day’s not half over and ten thousand slain,
Bb F5And now there’s nobody remembers our names..
[Outro]:
F5 C5And that’s how it is for a soldier..
