Belle & Sebastian - I fought in a war

^Em I fought in a war and I l^Aeft 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 c^Corpse that just fell into me, with the ^Bbullets flying round...

And I r^Geminded myself of the words you ^Amsaid when we were getting on And I ^Cbet youre making shells back home for a s^Bteady boy to wear Round his n^Geck, well it wont hurt to think of^Am you as if youre waiting for This l^Cetter to arrive because Ill ^Bbe here quite a while

^Em I fought in a war and I l^Aeft my friends behind me To go l^Cooking for the enemy, and it w^Basnt very long ^Em Before I found out that the s^Aickness there ahead of me Went be^Cyond the bedsit infamy of the d^Becade gone before

And I re^Gminded myself of the words you ^Amsaid when we were getting on And I ^Cbet youre making shells back home for a s^Bteady man to wear Round his n^Geck, well it wont hurt to think of^Am you as if youre waiting for This l^Cetter to arrive because Ill b^Be here quite a while

^Em I fought in a war, and I d^Aidn't know where it would end It str^Cetched before me infinitely, I c^Bouldn't really think ^Em Of the day beyond now, keep your ^Ahead down pal There's trouble plenty^C in this hour, this day I can see h^Bope I can see light

And I re^Gminded myself of the looks you ^Amgave when we were getting on And I ^Cbet youre making shells back home for a s^Bteady man to wear Round his n^Geck, well it wont hurt to think of^Am you as if youre waiting for This l^Cetter to arrive because Ill b^Be here quite a while
