Am F C x 2
Am F C G C (/F/C)
Am F C
The king�s taken back the throne.
Am F C
The useless seed is sown.
Am F Em
When they say they�re cutting off the phone,
G C (/F/C)
I tell 'em you're not home
Am F C
No place to hide,
Am F C
You're fightin' as a soldier on their side
Am F Em
You�re still a soldier in your mind
G C (/F/C)
Though nothing's on the line
Am F C
You say it�s money that we need,
Am F C
As if we�re the only mouths to feed.
Am F Em
And no no matter what you say,
G C (/F/C)
There�s some debts you'll never pay.
Am E F C
Working for the church while your family dies
Am E
You take what they give you
F C
And you keep it inside.
Am E F C
Every spark of friendship and love
G
will die without a home
C F Em G C
Hear the soldier groan, "We'll go at it alone".
Am F C
I can taste the fear.
Am F C
Lift me up and take me out of here.
Am F Em
Don�t wanna fight, don�t wanna die
G C (/F/C)
Just wanna hear you cry.
Am F C
Who�s gonna throw the very first stone?
Am F C
Oh! who�s gonna reset the bone?
Am F Em
Walking with your head in a sling
G C (/F/C)
Wanna hear the soldier sing:
Am E F C
"Been working for the church while my family dies.
Am E F C
Your little baby sister�s gonna lose her mind.
Am E F C
Every spark of friendship and love
G
will die without a home."
C F Em G C
Hear the soldier groan, "We'll go at it alone."
Em C G
I can taste your fear.
Em C G
It�s gonna lift you up and take you out of here.
Em C G
And the bone shall never heal;
D G
I care not if you kneel.
Em C G
We can�t find you now,
Em C G
But they�re gonna get their money back somehow.
Em C G
And when you finally disappear,
D G
We'll just say you were never here.
Em B
Working for the church while
C G
your life falls apart.
Em B C G
Singin' hallelujah with the fear in your heart.
Em B C G
Every spark of friendship and love
D
will die without a home."
G C Bm D G
Hear the soldier groan, "We'll go at it alone."
G C Bm D G
Hear the soldier groan, "We'll go at it alone."
G C Bm D G
