Verse:

   Am       C        F       Em
As stiff as toys and tall as men

     Em         D       G       F
That marched inside her head
Am       C        F         Em
How they made her dreams go bad
            Am          C       F          Em
But oh, how happy she was, how proud she was
       Am      C        F     Em
To be fighting in the war
       Am       C        F     Em
In the empty world
