[Intro]
Bm Em F#m A x4
[Verse 1]
BmOur little army Emboy
Is F#mcoming home from Ab.f.p.o.
BmI've a bunch of purple Emflowers
To F#mdecorate a Amammys hero.
BmMourning in the aeroEmdrome,
The F#mweather warmer, Ahe is colder.
BmFour men in uniEmform
To F#mcarry home my Alittle soldier.
[Chorus 1]
BmWhat could he do?
EShould have been a rock Dstar.
But he didnt F#mhave the money for a Bmguitar
BmWhat could he do?
EShould have been a poliDtician.
But he never F#mhad a proper eduBmcation.
BmWhat could he do?
EShould have been a faDther.
But he never F#meven made it to his Bmtwenties.
What a Dwaste --
GArmy Bmdreamers.
GOoh, whD/F#at a waste of
GArmy dreBmamers. G
[Verse 2]
BmTears oer a tEmin box.
OF#mh, jesus christ, Ahe wasnt to know,
BmLike a chicken Emwith a fox,
HF#me couldnt win theA war with ego.
BmGive the kid Emthe pick of pips,
AF#mnd give him all yAour stripes and ribbons.
BmNow hes sittiEmng in his hole,
HF#me might as well hAave buttons and bows.
[Chorus 2]
BmWhat could he do?
EShould have been a rock Dstar.
But he didnt F#mhave the money for a Bmguitar
BmWhat could he do?
EShould have been a poliDtician.
But he never F#mhad a proper eduBmcation.
BmWhat could he do?
EShould have been a faDther.
But he never F#meven made it to his Bmtwenties.
DWhat a waste --
GArmy Bmdreamers.
GOoh, wD/F#hat a waste of
GArmy dreBmamers. G
