(Intro Chords)
[G] [G] [G] [G]
[Am] [G] [D] [D]
[G]I always knew that you would take yourself far from home
As [Am]soon as, as [G]far as you could [D]go
By the qua[G]rter inch cut of your hair and the army issued
green For the [Am]past six weeks I can [G]tell Where you've [D]been
(Chorus #1)
For I kn[G]ew, I could se[D]e it was al[C]l cut and dried
to [G]me There was [Am]soldier's blue blood [G]streaming inside
your[D] veins There is [G]a world outside of thi[D]s room
And when yo[C]u meet it promis[G]e me tha[Am]t you won'[G]t meet
It with your [D]gun
now, [G]you are one, one of the brave few It's [Am]awful sad we
[G]need Boys like [D]you I [G]hope the day never comes for here?s
your live round, son Stock and [Am]barrel, [G]safety trigger
Here's your [D]gun
(Chorus #2)
For I [G]knew, I could [D]see it was [C]all cut and dried
to [G]me There was [Am]soldier's blue blood [G]streaming inside
your[D] veins There is [G]a world outside of thi[D]s room
And when yo[C]u meet it promis[G]e m[Am]e you won'[G]t meet
It with your [D]gun taking aim no I don?t [G]mean to [C]argue
That they'v[G]e made a decent boy o[C]f you I don't
[G]mean to spoil your h[D]ome coming, but [C]Baby brother you
would expect me [G]to.
(4 bars of G)
Stock and [Am]barrel, safety [G]trigger here?s your [D]gun
So now [G]does your heart pitter-pat with that patriotic sound
When you [Am]see the stripes of [G]Old Glory [D]waving
(Chorus #3)
For I [G]knew I could [D]see It was [C]all cut and dried to [G]me
There was [Am]soldier's blue blood [G]Streaming inside your
[D]veins There's a [G]world outside of this [D]room And when
[C]you meet it promise [G]me [Am]you won't [G]meet it With
your [D]gun, taking aim For I don't [G]mean, to [C]argue That
they've [G]made a decent boy of [C]you I [G]don't mean to spoil
your [D]home coming My [C]baby brother [D]Jude
No I don't [G]mean to [C]hurt you By [G]saying this [C]again
They're so [G]good at making [D]soldiers But they're [C]not
as good at making [G]Men
