[Verse 1]
Young [C]men and [D]soldiers, [A]1914
[Am]March[C]ing through countries
[D]they've never seen
[C]Virgins with rifles, [D]a game [A]of charades
[F]All for a chil[Bb]dren's cru[G]sade
Pawns [C]in the game are
[D]not victims of chance
[Am]Strewn [E]on the[C] fields of
[G]Belgium and
France
[C]Poppies for young men,
[D]death's bitter trade
[Am]All [F]of those young liv[Bb]es betra[G]yed
[F]The children [C]of
England would [F]never [C]be slaves
They're [F]trapped on [Em]the wire,
and [A]dy ing [G]in waves.
[C]The [F]flower [C]of
England, face [F]down in [C]the mud,
[F]Stained in the blood [Em]of a
[A]whole generation.
[E]Corpu[Em]lent gen[C]erals,
[Am]safe[D] behind line[A]s,
[Am]His [Em]tory's l[C]es[Am]sons
[G]drowned in red [C]wine
[F]Pop is [C]for young men,
[D]death's bitter trade
[Am]All [F]of those young liv[Bb]es betra[G]yed
All [Bb]for [C]a children's cru[D]sade
[F]The children [C]of
England would [F]never [C]be slaves
They're [F]trapped on [Em]the wire
[C]and [F]dying [G]in waves
[C]The [F]flower [C]of
England face [F]down in [C]the mud
Stained [F]in [Em]the blood of
a [A]whole generation
[C]Midnight in
So[Am]ho 1984
[D]Fix[Am] ing [Em]in d[C]oorways
[G]opium [D]slaves[C]
[F]Poppies [C]for young men,
[D]such bitter trade
[Am]All [F]of those young liv[Bb]es bet[G]rayed
[C]All for a chil[Am]dren's crusade
[D]All for [Am]a chil[Em]dren's cru[Am]sade, [C]all [D]for [Am]a children's crusade,
[C]all [D]for [Am]a ch[C]ildren's crusade.[D][Am]
