B                          G              B
When i was eighteen years, they gave me a gun
B                           G                    B
Went straight to the docks, there was work to be done
Bm                      Em
So sailed to a country, i didn't even know
Bm                       D
We landed in June, where summer wind blows
B                              G           B
It was a dusty Sunday morning, when i woke up
B                       G                        B
Y'had smoke everywhere, i took a bullet from the cup
Bm                       Em
Th'enemy's batallion was out for attack
Bm                       D
A gun in my hand, but a bullet in my back

[Pre-chorus]
A                           C       D
Well i died in a war, which was not mine
A                         C         D
Later with my drummates i stood, in line

[Chorus]
Em
Now
     G                D           Bm
I am wan'dring around this wasted land
Em
The ghost
     G                D       Bm
Of a soldier, my soul forever damned
C
Woh-oh-oh

[Verse 2]

B                       G               B
There was nothing left, but anger in my soul
B                               G               B
Every night i pull my body out, of that goddamn hole
Bm                    Em
I never knew why, why we were there
Bm                          D
I gave my youth, but no one seemed to fucking care
B                     G                   B
Now i see the ravens, flapping both their wings
B                      G                 B
Picking pieces out of, fallen queens and kings
Bm                     Em
My blood-soaked hopes, they're all in vain
Bm                         D
Not in heaven not in hell, that's my bane

[Pre-chorus]
A                           C       D
Well i died in a war, which was not mine

A                         C         D
Later with my drummates i stood, in line

[Chorus]
