Gentle Willie chords by Bill Fay

Chords with lyrics

B minorBm
Willie was a sailor
  D MajorD
He sailed on the sea
  B minorBm
And Willie said a sailor's life
    D MajorD
Is the life for me
     A minorAm
But they sent him into battle
    A minorAm
For to lay down his life
  B minorBm
And Willie said a sailor's life
      D MajorD
Is not for me

So Willie joined the air force
He learnt how to fly
And Willie said how happy
He was flying in the sky

But they sent him into battle
For to lay down his life
And Willie said the air force is no life for me

Now Willie got to thinking
People were plotting for his life
So he bought himself a watchtower
And locked himself inside

But the tower looked o'er a battlefield
Where men laid down their lives
And Willie had to laugh but then he cried
