D C#
Ambling madly all over the town, the call to arms, you've likened to
A whisper, I liken to a radio
You were a brick bag a bowery tuff, so rough, they called you from
A cartoon, pulled out of your pantaloons
A G# F#m G# A (B /) E
But you, my brother in arms, I'd rather I'd lose my limbs than let you come to harm
But you, my bombazine doll, the bullets may singe your skin and the mortars may fall
A E
But I, I never felt so much life
F#m D
Than tonight, huddled in the trenches
A E G D
Gazing on the battlefield, our rifles blaze away, we blaze away
Corporal Bradley of regiment five, and proud array standing by
The bathing soldiers and the stevedores
We laid on the mattress and tumbled to sleep, our eyes align, swaddled in
Our civies, cradled in our dungarees
But you, my brother in arms, I'd rather I'd lose my limbs than let you come to harm
But you, my bombazine doll, the bullets may singe your skin and the mortars may fall
But I, I never felt so much life
Than tonight, huddled in the trenches
A E G D
Gazing on the battlefield, our rifles blaze away, we blaze away
A E G D
We blaze away, we blaze away
A E G D D
