Misc Unsigned Bands - Doug anthony all stars - billy dont be a hero

^F(This song goes out to all of those correct Vietnam films, films like Hamburger Hill, and Tour of Duty, and Priscilla Queen of the Desert... )

^DmThe marching band came^G down along mainstreet, ^FThe soldier blues fell in behind. ^DmI looked across and ^Gthere I saw Billy, ^AmWaiting to go and^F join the line. ^DmAnd with her head up^Gon his shoulder, ^DmHis young and lovely^G fiancee. ^DmFrom where I stood I^G saw she was crying, ^DmAnd through her tears I ^Gheard her say: ("Billy, don't go off to war. If you go to war you can fucking consider yourself dropped, 'cause I'm not going to make love to you if you're an armless, legless corpse.")

^FBilly don't be a hero, Don’t be^Dm a fool with your life. ^Dm7Billy don't be a hero, Come back and^F make me your wife. And as^F Billy started ^C7to go, She said ^Dm"Keep your pretty ^Fhead low." ^FBilly don't be a ^Ghero, Come back to ^Fme.

^DmThe soldier blues were ^Gtrapped on a hillside, ^FThe battle raging all around. ^DmThe sergeant said "^GWe've got to hang on boys. ^AmWe've go to hold this^F piece of ground. ^DmI need a volun^Gteer to ride up, ^DmAnd bring us ^Gback some extra men." ^DmAnd Billy's hand was ^Gup in a moment, ^DmForgetting all the^G words she said.

^FBilly don't be a hero, Don't be a^Dm fool with your life. ^Dm7Billy don't be a hero, Come back and ^Fmake me your wife. And as^F Billy started ^C7to go, She said ^Dm"Where did Billy's^F head go?" ^FBilly don't be a ^Ghero, Come back to ^Fme.

^DmI heard his fian^Gcee got a letter, (ding dong! Telgram ma’am! Why thank you! Sorry about the door..) ^FSaying how Billy died that day. (horribly... oh my god, billy.. ooh I like the new wallpaper...) ^DmThe letter said that he ^Gwas a hero, (blah blah blah… he was a herod. A herod? Oh no wait that’s just a bit of pus on my contact lens…) ^AmShe should be proud he d^Fied that way. ^AmI heard she threw the^G letter ^Faway. And as the m^Failman started to^C7 go, He said ^Dm"Keep your pretty^Fm head low." (billy? Ooh wah ooh!!!) ^FBilly don't be a^G hero, Come back to^F me!
