Verse 1
Am Gunshots shatter in the peace of night
It's G just another firefight
For the F people of this little G town
But Am for the dying soldier
Well he's G feeling ten years older
As he's F lying face down on the G ground
Am All the words that are in his head
And G all the words that his mother said
As F she would put him to bed back G home
Chorus
C Your Daddy when he G died in the Am Falklands
C Fighting G for a Am nother man's cause
And your C brother he was G killed in the Am last war
And your C mother, well she's G lying home Am alone

Am Everyday she sees your face
On the G picture on the fireplace
With your F brother as he was leaving G school
Then a Am day came five years ago
You said G "Mother, I need to know"
And you F spoke the words your brother spoke be G fore
Am "I know the things my Daddy done
And I've G seen the medals that he's won
And I F know this is what he would have G wanted G for Am me

They're gonna F die for a re G ligion didn't be Am lieve in at G all
They're gonna F die in a G place they should Am never been at all
