[Intro 1]
[G][Bm][D][G][D][A]

[Verse 1]
[G]I met
my enemy [D]today
[A]Baby sends the little one out [Bm]to play
[G]Enemy shot until my body's [D]down
[A]Baby rides the little one on
the merry- [G]go- round

[Verse 2]
By my post, I'm standin' [D]guard
And [A]baby hopes for roses
in the [Bm]front [G]yard
I don't know my enemy's [D]name
[A]Baby takes the little one to
the baseball [G]game

[Verse 3]
I'm on this godforsaken [D]place
[A]Baby washes the dirt off the
[Bm]little one's [G]face
Ten year olds in the killing [D]fields
[A]Baby's [D]planning[A]
her weekly [G]meals

[Verse 4]
Bodies in body [D]ditch
[A]Baby's got a supper to [Bm]fix
My [G]buddy's got a hole [D]in his head
[A]Baby's got the little one ready for bed

[Verse 5]
[G]Today I shot my [D]enemy
[A]Baby gives the little one a [Bm]hug for me
[G]Both my buddies' legs got blown [D]off
[A]Baby tends to the little one's cough

[Verse 6]
[G]I stare down the barrel [D]of a gun
[A]Baby's goin' out to [Bm]have some [G]fun
I hear ringin' [D]in my ears
[A]Baby's face is all wet [G]with tears
I hear [Bm]echoes of shot

[Verse 7]
[D]s
[A]Baby's only thinkin' sweet [Bm]thoughts
[G]Why in the hell did they send
me here [D]to fight?
[A]Baby kisses my picture

[Verse 8]
and turns off the light
[G]I can't look my enemy in the e[D]ye
[A]Baby tells the little one,
"Daddy's [Bm]gone bye- bye"
[G]Today I took a bullet through [D]the heart
[A]Baby's gonna have to make a brand [Bm]new start[G]
[D]

[Interlude 1]
[Bm][A][G][D][Bm][A]
[G][D][Bm][A][G][D][Bm][A]

[Verse 9]
[G]I met my enemy tod[D]ay
[A]Baby sends the little one out to [Bm]play
[G]Enemy shot 'til my body's [D]down
[A]Baby rides the little one
on the merry- go- round
