need Boys like you I hope the day never comes for here’s
Am G
your live round, son Stock and barrel, safety trigger

Here's your gun
[Chorus #2]
G D C
For I knew, I could see it was all cut and dried
G Am G
to me There was soldier's blue blood streaming inside
D G D
your veins There is a world outside of this room
C G Am G
And when you meet it promise me you won't meet
D G C
It with your gun taking aim no I don’t mean to argue
G C
That they've made a decent boy of you I don't
G D C
mean to spoil your home coming, but Baby brother you
G
would expect me to.
[4 bars of G]
Am G D
Stock and barrel, safety trigger here’s your gun
G
So now does your heart pitter-pat with that patriotic sound
Am G D
When you see the stripes of Old Glory waving
