G
I always knew that you would
Am
G
As soon as, as far as
D
You could go
G
By the quarter inch cut of your hair
Am
G
For the past six weeks I can tell
D
Where you’ve been
G
D
For I knew, I could see
Am
G
It was all cut and dried to me
Am
There was soldier’s blue blood
G
D
Streaming inside your veins
G
D
There’s a world outside of this room
Am
G
And when you meet it promise me
Am
G
That you won’t meet it
D
With your gun
G
For now, you are one
Am
G
It’s so awful sad that we need
D
Boys like you
G
I hope the day never comes
Am
G
Stock and barrel, safety trigger
D
Here’s your gun
G
D
For I knew, I could see
Am
G
It was all cut and dried to me
Am
There was soldier’s blue blood
G
D
Streaming inside your veins
G
D
There’s a world outside of this room
Am
G
And when you meet it promise me
Am
G
That you won’t meet it
D
With your gun, taking aim
G
Am
For I don’t mean, to argue
G
Am
That they’ve made a decent boy of you
G
D
I don’t mean to spoil your homecoming, but
Am
G
Baby brother, you would expect me to
Am
G
Stock and barrel, safety trigger
D
Here’s your gun
G
So now does your heart pitter-pat
Am
When you see the stripes of
G
D
Old Glory waving
G
D
For I knew, I could see
Am
G
It was all cut and dried to me
Am
There was soldier’s blue blood
G
D
Streaming inside your veins
G
D
There’s a world outside of this room
Am
G
And when you meet it promise me
Am
G
That you won’t meet it
D
With your gun, taking aim
G
Am
For I don’t mean, to argue
G
Am
That they’ve made a decent boy of you
G
D
I don’t mean to spoil your homecoming
Am
D
My baby brother Jude
G
Am
And I don’t mean to hurt you
G
Am
By saying these things again
G
D
They’re so good at making soldiers
Am
But they’re not as good at making
G
Men
G
D
Am
