[Intro]
A G D A X2
[Verse 1]
A
He was nineteen
G
When he landed at Bagram
D A
Scared and all alone
A G
He lost a leg and a girlfriend
D A
Before he got home
[Chorus]
A G
And they say all is fair in love and war
D A
But that ain't true, it's wrong
A G
They send you off to die for us
D A
Forget about you when you don't
[Interlude]
A G D A
[Verse 2]
A G
He was nineteen, then sixty-eight
D A
After all this time
A G
That broken boy is now a broken man
D A
Waitin' in a V.A line
[Chorus]
A G
And they say all is fair in love and war
D A
But that ain't true, it's wrong
A G
They ship you out to die for us
D A
Forget about you when you don't
[Bridge]
E
And the nightmares
D
And he's running scared
A
Far from home
E
And he wakes up
D
From a nightmare
E
He's in another one
A
He's still not home
[Solo]
A G D A X4
[Verse 3]
A G
They call 'em decorated heroes
D A
And pin some medals on their chest
A G
Give 'em a tiny little pension
D A
Could we do much less
[Chorus]
A G
They say all is fair in love and war
D A
But that ain't true, it's wrong
A G
They ship you out to die for us
D A
Forget about you when you don't
X3
[Outro]
A G D A
