Intro

Verse 1
A                        E
Sixteen years old when I went to the war,
   D                        A 
To fight for a land fit for heroes,
A                     E
God on my side, and a gun in my hand,
D                       A 
Chasing my days down to zero,
A                                E
And I marched and I fought and I bled and I died,
      D                 A 
And I never did get any older,
      A                       E
But I knew at the time that a year in the line,
      D                      A 
Was a long enough life for a soldier,

Verse 2
   A                       E
We all volunteered, and we wrote down our names,
       D                      A 
And we added two years to our ages,
A                   E
Eager for life and ahead of the game,
D                   A 
Ready for history’s pages,
       A                            E
And we brawled and we fought and we whored ’til we stood,
D                        A 
Ten thousand shoulder to shoulder,
  A                           E
A thirst for the Hun, we were food for the gun,
    D                               A 
And that’s what you are when you’re soldiers,

Verse 3
C                             G
I heard my friend cry, and he sank to his knees,
         F                            C
Coughing blood as he screamed for his mother,
      C                     G
And I fell by his side, and that’s how we died,
F                          C
Clinging like kids to each other,
      C                      G
And I lay in the mud and the guts and the blood,
      F                     C
And I wept as his body grew colder,
      C                        G
And I called for my mother and she never came,
          A#                    F
Though it wasn’t my fault and I wasn’t to blame,
C                               G
And the day’s not half over and ten thousand slain,
    A#                 F
And now there’s nobody remembers our names

Outr0
F                          Csus2 C
And that’s how it is for a sold  ier.
