I Fought In A War Chords

   
I think B can be played also as B7, but i am not sure.


Em                          A
   I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me

      C                             B	
To go looking for the enemy, and it wasnt very long

Em                           A	
   Before I would stand with another boy in front of me
						
       C                                      B
And a corpse that just fell into me, with the bullets flying round...


1st chorus:

       G                               Am
And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on

      C                                        B
And I bet youre making shells back home for a steady boy to wear

           G                                 Am
Round his neck, well it wont hurt to think of you as if youre waiting for

      C                           B
This letter to arrive because Ill be here quite a while


2nd verse:

Em                          A
   I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me

       C                             B	
To go looking for the enemy, and it wasnt very long

Em                              A	
   Before I found out that the sickness there ahead of me

       C                              B		
Went beyond the bedsit infamy of the decade gone before

      C                                        B 	
And I bet youre making shells back home for a steady man to wear

           G                                 Am
Round his neck, well it wont hurt to think of you as if youre waiting for

3rd Verse:

Em                           A	
   I fought in a war, and I didn't know where it would end

      C                               B
It stretched before me infinitely, I couldn't really think

Em                                  A	
   Of the day beyond now, keep your head down pal

                      C
There's trouble plenty in this hour, this day

           B
I can see hope I can see light


3rd Chorus

        G                              Am				
And I reminded myself of the looks you gave when we were getting on

      C                                        B
And I bet youre making shells back home for a steady man to wear

           G                                 Am	
Round his neck, well it wont hurt to think of you as if youre waiting for

      C                            B
