[C]
Blue eyes fighting the grey eyes fighting the tears
Armed to the teeth [F] with war and words [D] reaching all the ears
I [E] advanced across the poppy [A] field
[F] I saw the gleam [C] as she raised her [E] shield
Love screamed down with the sun [G] behind the [C] itched [G] back
Our [A] fathers were all soldiers
We'd be [C] soldiers [E] too
[Am] All in love [C] soldiers
[D] Nothing is clear in this tactical unclear war
Can't be bothered to find out [G] what we're fighting [Dm] for
I could [A] win this war [A] of the senses
[F] I see no reason to drop my [A] defence
As I stand fast my emotions [G] rally at my [C] shaking [G] heart
Our [E] fathers were all soldiers
[G] We'd be [C] soldiers too
[E] Fighting and falling [Am] like soldiers

[D] I saw [F] the gleam as she raised her shield
[E] Love screamed down with the sun behind the itched back
Once [Dm] again I was [G] under attack
As I stand [Em] fast my emotions rally at my [C] shaking [G]

Our [A] fathers were [Dm] all soldiers
