Gtr 1 = Lead
Gtr 2 = Rhythm
Gtr 3 = Bouzouki/ fiddle (tabbed for guitar)
[Notes]
- Wherever Gtr 2 isn't tabbed out it plays the chords under the tab
- Gtr 3 plays something very similar to Gtr 1 unless noted otherwise
- All guitars play the chords shown above the lyrics
- Mix and match parts however you see fit to play on one guitar
- There are 10s and 12s in the solo, not a bunch of 0s, 1s and 2s

[Verse 1]
Em
See the world in technicolor, see what you can do
D C
Five and niner fiddlesticks to tango echo two
Em
Miles away from wastin’ at the local five-and-dime
D C
To wishing you were somewhere else to help to pass the time
[Pre-chorus]
C Am G D C
Armed to the teeth and underneath a relentless foreign sun
C Am G D Em
Armed to the teeth and underneath a relentless foreign sun

[Verse 2]
Em
Riots, blood, sand and mud was all I got to see
D C
In Kandahar, El Salvador, Belfast and Barbary
Em
I went mad in Stalingrad and I shivered to the bone
D C
So I danced a jig in Ladysmith and wished that I was home
[Pre-chorus]
C Am G D C
Armed to the teeth and underneath a relentless foreign sun
C Am G D Em B5
Armed to the teeth and underneath a relentless foreign sun
[Chorus]
Am D Em G C
Just another lowly victim in the struggle for hearts and minds
Am D Em G C
To the finest sons and daughters in the struggle of their life
Am Em
Guns and pipers, ship to shore
G D C
Off to fight a rich man’s war
G D C
Like our fathers did before
