in the first part of the song you just strike the chords once
 
 
1st Verse:
 
Em                          A
   I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me
 
      C                             B
To go looking for the enemy, and it wasnt very long
 
Em                           A
   Before I would stand with another boy in front of me
 
       C                                      B
And a corpse that just fell into me, with the bullets flying round...
 
 
1st chorus:
 
       G                                Am
And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on
 
      C                                        B
And I bet youre making shells back home for a steady boy to wear
 
           G                                   Am
Round his neck, well it wont hurt to think of you as if youre waiting for
 
      C                           B
This letter to arrive because Ill be here quite a while
 
 
In the second
down,down,up,up,down,up
 
 
2nd verse:
 
Em                          A
   I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me
 
       C                             B
To go looking for the enemy, and it wasnt very long
 
Em                              A
   Before I found out that the sickness there ahead of me
 
       C                              B
Went beyond the bedsit infamy of the decade gone before
 
 
2nd chorus:
 
        G                               Am
And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on
 
      C                                        B
And I bet youre making shells back home for a steady man to wear
 
           G                                  Am
Round his neck, well it wont hurt to think of you as if youre waiting for
 
      C                            B
This letter to arrive because Ill be here quite a while

3rd Verse:
 
Em                           A
   I fought in a war, and I didnt know where it would end
 
      C                               B
It stretched before me infinitely, I couldnt really think
 
Em                                  A
   Of the day beyond now, keep your head down pal
 
                      C
Theres trouble plenty in this hour, this day
 
           B
I can see hope I can see light
 
 
3rd Chorus
 
        G                               Am
And I reminded myself of the looks you gave when we were getting on
 
      C                                        B
And I bet youre making shells back home for a steady man to wear
 
           G                                  Am
Round his neck, well it wont hurt to think of you as if youre waiting for
 
      C                            B
This letter to arrive because Ill be here quite a while
