_ _ _ _ _ I [F] was just a young boy, [C] _ all my [G] friends they went to war.
_ _ _ I just [F] stood there asking, [C] _ _ what are [G] you going for?
_ My _ [F] best friend he [Eb] told [C] me, we're all boys [G] just seventeen.
_ _ Sign up now, [F] see the world, [C] taste its wine [G] and touch its wings. _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ I [F] just stood there gasping, [Cm] _ not a word [G] could I say.
Then I caught [F] my breath and shouted, [Cm] stop coming back there's [Gm] another way.
_ I [Cm] said [F] just stick at your [Cm] thoughts, they'll take [Gm] you where you want to go.
_ [G] _ _ And if [F] they don't take you, [Cm] maybe you were [G] supposed to go.

_ _ _ Saw [F] this girl and [Cm] asked her, _ which [G] way would the people be?
_ _ And she [F] just started laughing, [Cm] _ laughing [G] back right at me.
_ So _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ I feel no [F] pity [Cm] people for the person [G] in the war.
_ _ If all [F] the people stopped [Bb] fighting, [C] there would [G] be no war no more.
_ Oh, _ [Bb] I wonder _ [C] just how far away [G] they will go.
