Battalions Of Strangers (Fischer Z)

Album: Red Skies Over Paradise

{intro}
Am F Em Am (repeat)

{verse}
            Am
The map has gone
F    Em             Am
It's burning in the afternoon
               Am          F
The smell's so strong
   Em              Am      F   Em
No chance to waft away
       Am       F       Em              Am     F   Em
Gold medallions for the proud men in khaki
   Am                    F   Em
Battalions of strangers
   Am                    F   Em
Battalions of strangers

{chorus}
Dm                       E
No one wants to lead the way
Dm                        E
Be the first death of the day
Dm                  E
Leave his family behind
Dm                    E
It must all be in the minds of
   Am                    F   Em
Battalions of strangers ...
   Am                    F   Em
Battalions of strangers ...
   Am                    F   Em
Battalions of strangers ...
   Am                    F   Em
Battalions of strangers ...


{verse}
The sound of guns has given way to childrens cries
The war has come home
The black smoke and the hordes of flies
Gold medallions for the citizens who stand and wait
Battalions of strangers
Battalions of strangers

{chorus}
No one wants to lead the way...

{verse}
The voice of calm from Moscow to the Pentagon
Sound the alarm and try to back the better one
Gold medallions for the men who must negotiate
Battalions of strangers
Battalions of strangers
Battalions of strangers
Battalions of strangers
... Out.
