1ST VERSE:
We were the c ^C#m hildren of '45
L ^C#m oaded like pistols and taught how to die
We l ^B ooked the enemy st ^A raight in the eye (And never surr ^C#m endered)
Through tr ^C#m enches dug in the back of my mind
I ^C#m go over the top time after time
^B Me and the ones we l ^A eft behind (Faces I'll always rem ^C#m ember)
CHORUS:
Now there's ^E no fight left within me
But the w ^D riting ^F#m of this w ^C#m rong
As n ^C#m ations we're divided, but as p ^B eople we are o ^A ne
Like b ^A rothers in blood, it s ^E eems that we've b ^B een
Too long a s ^C#m oldier
^{E B C#m}
2ND VERSE:
In the c ^C#m ity of monuments
Among the f ^C#m lags of all governments
The o ^B rder of battle is w ^A ritten in the shadows of a ^C#m hard black line
Where p ^C#m eople cry for a nation's scars
And h ^C#m eroes sleep beneath a blanket of stars
T ^B oo young to die, but n ^A ever too old to play the G ^C#m eneral's game
CHORUS:
Now there's ^E no life left within them
But the m ^D emory l ^F#m ingers o ^C#m n
As n ^C#m ations we're divided, but as p ^B eople we are o ^A ne
For b ^A rothers in blood we s ^E ing that we've b ^B een
Too long a s ^C#m oldier
