Verse 1
LAm
Gunshots shatter in the peace of night
SOL
It's just another firefight
FA SOL
For the people of this little town
LAm
But for the dying soldier
SOL
Well he's feeling ten years older
FA SOL
As he's lying face down on the ground
LAm
All the words that are in his head
SOL
And all the words that his mother said
FA SOL
As she would put him to bed back home
Chorus
DO SOL LAm
Your Daddy when he died in the Falklands
DO SOL LAm
Fighting for another man's cause
DO SOL LAm
And your brother he was killed in the last war
DO SOL LAm
And your mother, well she's lying home alone

SOL FA SOL
LAm SOL FA SOL
LAm
Everyday she sees your face
SOL
On the picture on the fireplace
FA SOL
With your brother as he was leaving school
LAm
Then a day came five years ago
SOL
You said "Mother, I need to know"
FA SOL
And you spoke the words your brother spoke before
LAm
"I know the things my Daddy done
SOL
And I've seen the medals that he's won
FA SOL SOL LAm
And I know this is what he would have wanted for me
SOL LAm
CHORUS
Bridge
FA SOL LAm SOL
Now she wonders at it all
FA SOL LAm SOL
Just in whose name, do these brave young heros fall
FA SOL LAm SOL
And how many more are gonna answer that call
FA SOL LAm SOL
They're gonna fight and die
Lose yourself in the cresendo bit
C G Am Am (Repeat six times)
