[Bb]
[A]
16 years old [E] when I went to the war to [D]
fight for a land fit for [A]
heroes.
God on my side and [E] a gun in my hand [D]
chasing my days down to [A]
zero.
And I marched and I fought and I [E]
bled and I died and [D] I never really felt any [A]
older.
But I knew at the time that [E] a year in the line was a [D] long enough life for [A] a soldier.
We all voted and [E] we wrote down our names and [D] we added two yes to [A] our ages.
Eager for life and [E]
ahead of the game, [D]
ready for historic [A]
stages.
And we rolled and we fought and [E] we hoped and we stood ten [D]
thousand shoulder to [A]
shoulder.
Busters for the home, we [E] were fools for the gun and [D]
that's what you are when you're [A]
soldiers.

[A]
[E] I [C]
heard my friend cry and [G] he sank to his knees, [F] coughing blood as he screamed for [C] his mother.
And I fell by his side [G] and that's how we died, [F]
linking like kids to [C] each other.
And I lay in the mud and [G] the guts and the blood and [F] I wept as his body [C] grew colder.
And I called for my mother and [G] she never came.
Though [Bb] it wasn't my fault and [F] I wasn't to blame.
[C] And the days that have over [G] the ten thousand slain, [Bb]
now there's nobody [F]
remembers our name.
And that's how it ends, [C]
soldiers.
