	Am	C	G	F	D	F

	Then shipped me back east aga	in

	C	G	F	C
	Left a por	t out of	new y	ork

	D	F
	Slept for months in british	rain

	D	F
	Then they shipped me back ou	t again

Chorus:

	C	G
	And the preacher said	boys

	F	C
	He who is killed	tonight

	D	F
	Will dine with the lord in par	ade

	C	G
	Then one boy spok	e up

	F	C
	Said preacher co	me on

	D	F
	Eat your supper with	us

	C	G	F
	Never tal	k about those first	days

	D	F
	Lots of friends left	behind

	C	G	F	C
	But I made	it all the a	cross f	rance

	D	F
	And I fought at the maginot	line

	C	G	F
	Rode a	tank into Bel	gium

	D	F
	I liked them better than the	French

	C	G	F	C
	Like my	daddy th	irty years b	efore

	C	G	F	C
	The cellers	were stocked to the	ceilings with	booze

	D	F
	So I carried a bottle with my	gun

	C	G	F
	Three times I	made seargent

	D	F
