E F#m (2x) E F#m E E F#m
E F#m E E F#m E E C#m1ST VERSE:
C#mWe were the children of '45
- C#m
Loaded like pistols and taught how to die
B A C#m We looked the enemy straight in the eye (And never surrendered)
C#mThrough trenches dug in the back of my mind
- C#m
I go over the top time after time
B A C#m Me and the ones we left behind (Faces I'll always remember)
CHORUS- E
Now there's no fight left within me
D F#m C#m But the writing of this wrong
C#m B AAs nations we're divided, but as people we are one
- A E B
Like brothers in blood, it seems that we've been
C#m Too long a soldier
E B C#m2ND VERSE:
- C#m
In the city of monuments
C#m Among the flags of all governments
B A C#mThe order of battle is written in the shadows of a hard black line
- C#m
Where people cry for a nation's scars
C#m And heroes sleep beneath a blanket of stars
B A C#mToo young to die, but never too old to play the General's game
CHORUSENow there's no life left within them
D F#m C#mBut the memory lingers on
- C#m B A
As nations we're divided, but as people we are one
A E B For brothers in blood we sing that we've been
C#mToo long a soldier
