Rich Man's War

Capo 2 
 
D                               A               D  
Jimmy joined the army ?cause he had no place to go 
      D                                                               Em 
There ain?t nobody hirin? ?round here since all the jobs went down to Mexico 
G                                                      A 
Reckoned that he?d learn himself a trade maybe see the world 
G                                    A 
Move to the city someday and marry a black haired girl 
G                       D           
Somebody somewhere had another plan 
G                    D 
Now he?s got a rifle in his hand 
D                    A                         Bm   G 
Rollin? into Baghdad wonderin? how he got this far 
D                     A                         D      
Just another poor boy off to fight a rich man?s war 
 
 
Bobby had an eagle and a flag tattooed on his arm 
Red white and blue to the bone when he landed in Kandahar 
Left behind a pretty young wife and a baby girl 
A stack of overdue bills and went off to save the world 
Been a year now and he?s still there 
Chasin? ghosts in the thin dry air 
Meanwhile back at home the finance company took his car 
Just another poor boy off to fight a rich man?s war 
 
 
Bride: 
Bm           G 
When will we ever learn 
D            A 
When will we ever see 
Bm              G 
We stand up and take our turn 
D              A 
And tellin? ourselves we?re free 
 
 
Ali was the second son of a second son 
Grew up in Gaza throwing bottles and rocks when the tanks would come 
Ain?t nothin? else to do around here just a game children play 
Somethin? ?bout livin? in fear all your life makes you hard that way 
He answered when he got the call 
Wrapped himself in death and praised Allah 
A fat man in a new Mercedes drove him to the door 
Just another poor boy off to fight a rich man?s war
