I fought in a war (Transcribed by Michael Shaye ) 1st Verse:
Em I fought in a war and I lAeft my friends behind me To go Clooking for the enemy, and it Bwasnt very long
Em Before I would stand with Aanother boy in front of me And a cCorpse that just fell into me, with the Bbullets flying round...
1st chorus:
And I rGeminded myself of the words you sAmaid when we were getting on And I Cbet youre making shells back home for a sBteady boy to wear
Round his nGeck, well it wont hurt to think of yAmou as if youre waiting for This lCetter to arrive because Ill Bbe here quite a while
2nd verse:
Em I fought in a war and I lAeft my friends behind me To go lCooking for the enemy, and it wBasnt very long
Em Before I found out that the sAickness there ahead of me Went beCyond the bedsit infamy of the dBecade gone before
2nd chorus:
And I reGminded myself of the words you sAmaid when we were getting on And I Cbet youre making shells back home for a sBteady man to wear
Round his nGeck, well it wont hurt to think of Amyou as if youre waiting for This lCetter to arrive because Ill bBe here quite a while
3rd Verse:
Em I fought in a war, and I dAidnt know where it would end It strCetched before me infinitely, I cBouldnt really think
Em Of the day beyond now, keep your Ahead down pal Theres trouble plenty Cin this hour, this day
I can see hBope I can see light
3rd Chorus
And I reGminded myself of the looks you gAmave when we were getting on And I Cbet youre making shells back home for a sBteady man to wear
Round his nGeck, well it wont hurt to think of Amyou as if youre waiting for This lCetter to arrive because Ill bBe here quite a while

I will coDnfess to you Because IA didn't think about the Gmessage As I walkeDd down the alleyway it Bmwas a Sunday And all my frienEds deserted me becausAe you painted me AGs the fraud I realDly was And ifDsus4 you think you sDsus4/C#ee with just youBmr eyes you're mad 'Cause Lisa learEned a lot from putting onA a blindfold When sGhe knew she haDd been bad She Dsus4/Emet another blind kidD/F# at a fancy dGress It was tAhe best sex she DeveDr hDad D
