^GI always knew that you would take yourself far from home As ^Amsoon as, as ^Gfar as you could ^Dgo

By the qua^Grter inch cut of your hair and the army issued green For the ^Ampast six weeks I can ^Gtell Where you've ^Dbeen

[Chorus #1]

For ^GI knew, I coul^Dd see it wa^Cs all cut and dried to ^Gme There was ^Amsoldier's blue blood ^Gstreaming inside

your veins ^DThere is a world^G outside of this room ^D And when you meet ^Cit promise me th^Gat you w^Amon't meet ^G
