Capo: 2 Tuning: E A D G B E
This has the capo on 2 if you're playing off of this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GUZHpSpVWY. Chords relative to capo. The album has no capo (and therefore is in D).

Honey, dDon't tell the boys I been tF#malkin' like this 'Cause I Gcan't have 'em thinkin' I'm scDared TrDuth is I ain't afraid a'nF#mothin' no more I'm tGired and I just don't cDare How manyD tours is too many tours F#m My baby sGhe'd like to know D 'Cause aDlways there at the back a'mF#my mind Is that JGody's there when I go D
[Chorus]
DNever let 'em send me bAmack to Sadr City DNever let 'em send me bAmack Some shDit went down, dAmown in Sadr City Some sDhit went down in IAmraq I ain't goin' bDack
Riff 1 [Verse 2]
Well I wDas there in '04 when it firF#mst got hot And MuqtaGda's local fighters emerged D Earned aD Purple Heart via Seven-SixF#m-Two And anothGer later during the Surge D
Didn't kDnow nothin' back then, didnF#m't care It was geGt it out and kick us some ass D Couldn'tD tell a Sunni from a Shia fF#mrom the Kurds But they Geducated me pretty fast D
[Chorus]
DNever let 'em send me bAmack to Sadr City DNever let 'em send me bAmack Some shDit went down, dAmown in Sadr City Some sDhit went down in IAmraq I ain't goin' bDack
[Verse 3]
Well it Dwas pretty touch n'go from F#mthe very first light Fiercest Gaction that I'd ever seen D Ambush cDome and we hadda' dismount F#m Get busy,G fight it out in the streets D
Well allD hell broke loose, takin' fF#mire from the rooftops Haji launGchin' RPGs D Fightin'D runnin' battles with militF#mias in the alleys Draggin' Gon and on week after week D
Takin' hDits at fifty metres from a F#mshrine nearby But they Gwouldn't let us light up a mosDque Then ourD tanks rolled in, real hardF#m real heavy But they Gcouldn't help the guys that weD lost
[Chorus]
DNever let 'em send me bAmack to Sadr City DNever let 'em send me bAmack Some shDit went down, dAmown in Sadr City Some sDhit went down in IAmraq I ain't goin' bDack
[Verse 4]
Well I dDon't know if it matters to F#mthe folks back home But they Gsay they're all supportin' theD troops There's Dno time anyway to be dwelliF#mng on that Out here Gthinkin's only for fools D
And as lDong as there's no lack of yF#moung man willin' To ride tGo the sound of the guns D I'll be Dwaking up dreaming of the MF#mahdi Army And of boGth sides losing their sons D
[Final Chorus]
DThey ain't a-gonna sendAm me back to Sadr City DThey ain't a-gonna sendAm me back My oDrders came through and bAmabe it isn't pretty It's AfgDhanistan instead of IAmraq They're sending me bDack
