I Fought In a War

Verso:
Em                          Am
   I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me
      C                             B
To go looking for the enemy, and it wasnt very long
Em                           Am
   Before I would stand with another boy in front of me
       C                                      B
And a corpse that just fell into me, with the bullets flying round...

Refrão:
         G                               Am
And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on
      C                                        B
And I bet youre making shells back home for a steady boy to wear
            G                                 Am
Round his neck, well it wont hurt to think of you as if youre waiting for
      C                           B
This letter to arrive because I'll be here quite a while

   I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me
       C                             B
To go looking for the enemy, and it wasnt very long
Em                              Am
   Before I found out that the sickness there ahead of me
       C                              B
Went beyond the bedsit infamy of the decade gone before

Refrão:
         G                              Am
And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on

And I bet youre making shells back home for a steady man to wear
            G                                 Am
Round his neck, well it wont hurt to think of you as if youre waiting for

Verso:
Em                           Am
   I fought in a war, and I didnt know where it would end
      C                               B
It stretched before me infinitely, I couldnt really think
Em                                  Am
   Of the day beyond now, keep your head down pal
                      C
Theres trouble plenty in this hour, this day
           B
I can see hope I can see light

Refrão:
         G                              Am
And I reminded myself of the looks you gave when we were getting on
      C                                        B
And I bet youre making shells back home for a steady man to wear
            G                                 Am
Round his neck, well it wont hurt to think of you as if youre waiting for
