They dressed you up and took you off to World War One
FF        A minorAm        D MajorD   E MajorE
Armed you and surrounded you with wire
FF        A minorAm        D MajorD    E MajorE
Sat in stinking mud you sang your stupid songs
  FF        A minorAm        D MajorD  E MajorE
And waited til they told you when to fi--re

Many of your buddies killed or maimed

Til the Generals said "I'm sorry, you've been fra--med"
