E                    D
We're at war all the papers say
Bm            E
We will win I read today
              D
We are strong It wasn't us
Bm           E

Leave your work I just left school
Bm              E
Leave your home I am no fool
             D

This time will be forever

   Verse 3:
E           D
I wait here in this hole
Bm            E
Playing poker with my soul
                 D
I hold the rifle close to me
Bm                E
It lights the way to keep me free
              D
If I die in a combat zone
Bm            E
Box me up and ship me home
             D
If I die and still come home
Bm           E
Lay me where the rose is sown
