[Verse 1]
[C]
the war started here
But [C#m]the bombs [D#m]keep on fal[E5]ling,

A forward advance over

[E5]the endl[C#m]ess sh[A5]ellfire

With [Dbm]our honor[Ebm] and our g[E5]lory,

The warri[Eb]ors, [E5]so valiant,

And [C5]forever [Ebm]these [Eb5]fields will[E5] be stained

I'm crippled, disfigured,
you just look away
The war you forgot, the price I have paid
[E5]
