[Verse 1]
Am Dm Em G
Our little army boy is coming home from B. F. P. O.
Am Dm6 Em G
I've a bunch of purple flowers to decorate a Mammys hero,
Am Dm Em G
Mourning in the aerodrome, the weather warmer, he is colder,
Am Dm6 Em G
Four men in uniform to carry home my little soldier!
[Chorus 1]
Am D C
(What could he do? Should've been a rock star!)
Em Am
But he didn't have the money for a gui - tar
(What could he do?...
D C
...Should've been a poli - tician!)
Em Am
But he never had a proper edu - ca - tion,
(What could he do?...
D C
...Should've been a fath - er!)
Em Am C
But he never even made it to his twenties, what a waste,
F Am F C F Am F
Army dreamers! Oo, what a waste of army dreamers!
[Verse 2]
Am Dm Em G
Tears o'er a tin box, oh, Jesus Christ, he wasn't to know,
Am Dm6 Em G
Like a chicken with a fox, he couldn't win the war with ego,
Am Dm
Give the kid the pick of pips,
Em G
And give him all your stripes and ribbons,
Am Dm6
Now he's sitting in his hole,
Em G
He might as well have buttons and bows!
[Chorus 2]
Am D C
(What could he do? Should've been a rock star!)
Em Am
But he didn't have the money for a gui - tar
(What could he do?...
D C
...Should've been a poli - tician!)
Em Am
But he never had a proper edu - ca - tion,
(What could he do?...
D C
...Should've been a fath - er!)
Em Am C
But he never even made it to his twenties, what a waste,
F Am F C F Am F
Army dreamers! Oo, what a waste of army dreamers,
C F Am
Oo, what a waste of all them army dreamers,
F Am F Am F Asus2
Army dreamers, army dreamers-------! Oo-----!
