Old Soldier

David Crosby

 DADA
 Standing in a corner...All alone        You know I'd like to take you...Drag you home
 DADA
 Chest full of medals... every one of them clay
 DAB
 One of yesterday's heroes who's had his day
Chorus:
 B
 Why, why, why, why? (x3)
 CE
 Old soldier, why, why, old soldier, why?

Verse
 DADA
 Nobody cares, why should they?  It's true, it's true, I know, you've really had your day
 DA
 Abrasive comments from rich passers-by
 DA
 You really should get a job you know, no matter if you're ninety-five

Chorus

Bridge
 Cm#B
 Still I'd like to take you on a new campaign
 Cm#
 Bring a little sunshine into your life
 B
 Instead of all that driving rain

Chorus

Verse
 DAD
 Days go on, you can't change    Not enough left of you to rearrange
 DAD
 Drink after drink after drink, you know you stink
 DAD
 Build up something new, Lord, it makes me think 

Chorus

Tell me why, old soldier, why?, please tell me why, somebody tell me why (ad lib)
