Intro:
A   Dadd2   A/E    Dadd2/A

Verse:
   Dadd2
I loved the world when we were poor
      A
When winter banged on summer's door
     Dadd2                        A
When pain was April rain upon my skin
    Dadd2
I sheltered as each friend was tamed
      A
And shackled by the waiting game
     Dadd2                         A
Now life has left a stain upon my skin

Chorus:
A              D6
Soldier boy, soldier on
      A                              D6
Your eyes are cold and the spark is gone
     D6
My blackest days were bandaged white
      A
I've prayed upon my darkest night
     D6                               A
And bible dreams the lives of former whores

Verse:
   Dadd2
I slept beside this angry calm
      A
Kept faith alive and far from harm
Dadd2                             A
Torn I've lived I'll die a boy stillborn

Chorus:
A              D6
Soldier boy, soldier on
      A                              D6
Your eyes are cold and the spark is gone
         A                       D6
They've chosen you to bear the stain
             A
For god has left this world bereft
                D6
And the scars remain
            A
The scars remain

Your eyes are cold and the spark is gone
         A                       D6
They've chosen you to bear the stain
             A
For god has left this world bereft
