Rich Man's War Steve Earle
[D]Jimmy joined the army cause he had no pl[A]ace to go
[D]There ain’t nobody hiring round here since all the jobs went down to[A] Mexico
[G]Reckoned that he’d learn himself a trade, maybe see the world [A]
[G]Move to the city some day and marry a black hair[A]ed girl
[G]Somebody, somewhere had another plan [D]
[G]Now he’s got a rifle in his hand[D]
[D]Rollin’ into Baghdad won[A]derin’ how he got this far [G]
[D]Just another poor boy off to fig[A]ht a rich man’s w[D]ar
Bobby had an eagle and a flag tattooed on his arm
Red, white and blue to the bone when he landed in Khandahar
Left behind a pretty young wife and a baby girl
A stack of overdue bills and went off to save the world
Been a year now and he’s still there
Chasing ghosts in the thin dry air
Meanwhile back at home the finance company took his car
Just another poor boy off to fight a rich man’s war
[G]When will we ever learn?[D]
[G]When will we ever see? [D]
[G]Stand up and take our tu[D]rn
[G]Keep telling ourselves w[A]e’re free
Ali was the second son of a second son
Grew up in Gaza throwing bottles and rocks when the tanks would come
Ain’t nothin’ else to do around here, it’s just a game children play
Somethin’ ‘bout livin’ in fear all your life makes you hard that way
He answered when he got the call
Wrapped himself in death and he praised Allah
A fat man in a new Mercedes drove him to the door
Just another poor boy off to fight a rich man’s war
I think this may just be the best song from The Revolution Starts Now
Not too sure how accurate this might be but it sounds pretty good on an acoustic guitar.
Any corrections etc. please feel free
