I Fought In A War Chords by Belle And Sebastian

_ _ _ I fought in a war, _ [Am] and I left my friends behind [C] me
To go looking for the enemy, _ [Em] and it wasn't very _ long _ _ _
_ _ Before I would stand, with [A] another boy in front of me
[C] And a corpse that just fell into me, [F#] with the bullets flying round
_ _ And [G] I reminded myself of the words you [E] said, when we were getting old
[C] And I bet you're making shells back home, [F#] for a steady boy to wear
[G] Round his neck, while everyone [G] heard to [Am] think of you
As if you're waiting [C] for this letter to arrive
[E] Because [B] I'll be here quite a [F#m] _
_ [Em] while
_ I fought in a war, [A] and I left my friends behind me
[C] To go looking for the enemy, _ [B] and it wasn't very _ _ long
[Em] _ _ _ Before I found out, [A] the sickness there right of me
[C] Went beyond the bedsitting for me, [B] of a decade [D] gone before
_ _ [G] I reminded myself of the words [Am] you said, when we were getting old
[C] And I bet you're making shells back home, for a steady man to wear
_ [G] Round his neck, while everyone heard to think [Am] of you
As if you're waiting for [C] this letter to arrive
Because [B] I'll be here quite a _ while

[C]
Stretched before me _ infinitely, [B] I couldn't really _ think
[Em] _ _
_ Maybe I'll now, [A] keep your heads and [Am] pouths as troubled red [C] teeth
In this hour of [C] this day, I can't [E] see hope, I can't [B] see light
_ [G] I reminded myself of the looks [Am] you gave, when we were getting old
[C]
And I bet you're making shells back home, [B] for a steady man to wear
