As there’s no tab for that song so far, I tried my best to come up with an easy one.
Suggestions, corrections (esp. for the ‘solo’) and comments highly appreciated!
I usually play the F’s and G’s as staccato as possible and strum the Em’s loosely, but
that’s up to you, I guess.
For the intro:
e|--5--5--5--5^6--3---8p7h8-|

G|--------------------------| (repeat)

E|--------------------------|
Em F Em G
Em F Em G
Em F
A boy like me is told
Em G
He is both nine and ninety
Em
And a boy like me
F Em
Should shut those books
G
Join the army
Em
And a boy like me
F Em
Would never be seen
G
Fighting for peace
Em
I want total chaos
F Em G
And a holiday home in the east

To raise his flag in stormy weather

Two cats
A big kitchen

Give up his dream
No
