[Am] [G]
[D]
[G] I always knew that you would take us out far from home
[Am] As soon as, [G] as far as you [D] could go
[G] By the quarter inch cut of your hair
And the army issue big
For [Am] the past eight weeks I can tell
[D] Where you've been
For I knew, I could see
[C] It was all a cousin died to me
There [Am] were soldiers, blue [G] blood streaming inside [D] your veins
There is [G] a world outside of [D] this room
And [C] when you meet it promise me
[Am] You [G] won't meet it where [D] you're gone
So [G] now you are one of the brave few
[Am] It's our first sight we need, boys [D] like you
I [G] hope the day never comes
For here's your life ransom
[Am] Stopping battle, safety trigger [D] is your gun
Well I knew, I could see
[C] It was all a cousin died [G] to me
[Am] There were soldiers, blue [G] blood streaming inside [D] your veins
There [G] is a world outside [D] of this room
And [C] when you meet it promise [G] me
[Am] You [G] won't meet it [D] where you're gone
Take it, the life [G] that we'll be
[C] Two of you, [G] it made a decent boy of [C] you
Doesn't mean to spoil your [D] homecoming
[C] But baby brother, you should expect [G] me to
[D]
[Am] Stopping battle, [G] safety trigger [D] is your gun
So
[G] now does your heart hit a pad
With a patriotic sound
[Am] When you see the stripes [G] of
Old [D] glory waving
[G] Well I knew, I [D] could see
It [C] was all a cousin [G] died to me
[Am] There were soldiers, blue [G] blood streaming [D] inside your veins
There [G] is a world outside [D] of this room
And [C] when you meet it promise me
[Am] You [G] won't meet it where [D] you're gone
Take it, the life [G] that we'll be
[C] Two of you, [G] it made a decent boy [C] of you
[G] Doesn't mean to spoil [D] your homecoming
[C] But baby brother, [D] you should expect [G] me to
I see you miss the gun
There's some good at [D] making soldiers
But [C] they're not as good at [G] making men
