Capo on 1st fret. intro: A, A, A, A. Verse: A E 16 years old when I went the war, D A To fight for a land fit for heroes, A E God on my side, and a gun in my hand, D A Chasing my days down to zero, A E And I marched and I fought and I bled and I died, D A And I never did get any older, A E But I knew at the time that a year in the line, D A A, A, A, Is a long enough life for a soldier, A E We all volunteered, and we wrote down our names, D A And we added two years to our ages, A E Eager for life and ahead of the game, D A Ready for history's pages, A E And we brawled and we fought and we whored 'til we stood, D A Ten thousand shoulder to shoulder, A E A thirst for the Hun, we were food for the gun, D A A, And that's what you are when you're soldiers, A,E,D,A, A,E,D,A A,A,A. A E I heard my friend cry, and he sank to his knees, D A Coughing blood as he screamed for his mother, A E And I fell by his side, and that's how we died, D A Clinging like kids to each other, A E And I lay in the mud and the guts and the blood, D A And I wept as his body grew colder, A E And I called for my mother and she never came, G D Though it wasn't my fault and I wasn't to blame, A E The day not half over and ten thousand slain, G D And now there's nobody remembers our names, D A And that's how it is for a soldier. Here you go, GREAT SONG...
