Intro: C7   Am   C7   Am 

verse 1 
       C7 
I have people to free, they're depending on me 
     Am 
So I can't afford to die 
        C7                                 Am 
Get 'em safely back, then I won't stay too long 
        C                D 
I'll be leaving soon for London 
        G                             Dm 
So I'll look this war straight in the eye 
     C                 Cm              Dm     G 
Only thirty days, so I can't afford to die 


verse 2 
       C7 
When I think of the dead, that go round in my head 
      Am 
No, I can't afford to die 
       C7                                       Am 
So the thing to do is pretend that they weren't there 
        C            D 
With my baby at home waiting 
      G                    Dm 
I can give myself a little sigh 
     C                 Cm              Dm     G 
Only thirty days, so I can't afford to die 


Instrumental: C7   Am   C7   Am   Cm  D  G  Dm  C  Cm  Dm  G 


verse 3 
          C7 
God ain't taking my hand, not to no promised land 
     Am 
So I can't afford to die 
        C7                              Am 
So I'll cease my command before another bomb 
     C             D 
If I see my home a free man 
       G                  Dm 
I'll remember why I never cried 
     C                 Cm              Dm     G 
Only thirty days, so I can't afford to die 


Outro: C7   Am   C7   Am   C7   Am   C7   Am
