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 

 
             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 

A G D A 

verse 2 
        A             G  
He was nineteen, then 68 
 D              A 
After all this time 
       A                  G 
That broken boy is now a broken man 
D                A 
Waitin' in a VA line 


             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 

   
          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)
