Verse 2:

Em                                      A
     I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me

            C                                             B
To go looking for the enemy, and it wasnt very long

Em                                            A
     Before I would stand with another boy in front of me

            C                                                          B
And a corpse that just fell into me, with the bullets flying round...

Chorus 1:

            G                                                    Am
And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on

          C                                                                 B
And I bet youre making shells back home for a steady boy to wear

                  G                                                   Am
Round his neck, well it wont hurt to think of you as if youre waiting for

         C                                        B
This letter to arrive because I'll be here quite a while

down, down, up, up, down, up

Verse 2:

Em                                      A
     I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me

            C                                             B
To go looking for the enemy, and it wasn't very long

Em                                               A
     Before I found out that the sickness there ahead of me

           C                                                  B
Went beyond the bedsit infamy of the decade gone before

Chorus 2:

          G                                                      Am
And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on

          C                                                                 B
And I bet youre making shells back home for a steady man to wear

                  G                                                    Am
Round his neck, well it wont hurt to think of you as if youre waiting for

         C                                        B
This letter to arrive because I'll be here quite a while

Verse 3:

Em                                        A
     I fought in a war, and I didnt know where it would end

      C                                                 B
It stretched before me infinitely, I couldn't really think

Em                                                          A
     Of the day beyond now, keep your head down pal

                                   C
Theres trouble plenty in this hour, this day

                 B
I can see hope I can see light

Chorus 3

           G                                                    Am
And I reminded myself of the looks you gave when we were getting on

           C                                                                 B
And I bet youre making shells back home for a steady man to wear

                  G                                                   Am
Round his neck, well it wont hurt to think of you as if youre waiting for

        C                                         B
This letter to arrive because I'll be here quite a while
