[Verse 1]
I've [Am]never [Em]been out [D]of Salford tow[G]n,
the [D]place where I was [Am]born[Bb][D]
[Am]Ex cept when I w[D]as in the ranks
and wore [Em]a uni[E]form
[Am]But I'd sooner n[A]ever trave[G]l
if the [C]only way [F]to see [Am]the world
is [D]through the [G]battle sites of a Mark [Am]4 303.
I [A]have [D]a little [G]baby
[Am]he's the [D]apple of me [A]eye.
[Bb]When[Am] I think a[F]bou[A]t his future[D]
my [G]thoughts [Em]take wing [Am]and fly.
[E]What kind
[Am]An d a future, c[D]an there be,
[G]with planes [Am]and [D]tanks and guns?
[F]Wit[D]h f[A]lying high and dr[G]opping bombs
on [A]other people's [Am]sons?[Bb][Am]
[A]I'd like to [D]see the [G]whole wide world,
the North, [A]South, East [Am]and West.
I'd like to [A]travel [D]everywhere
with the [G]girl [C]that I love [Am]best
But I'll stay beside [G]the air
[D]well all my [C]life before [D]I'll stand[Am]
In some [D]foreign country
[G]with a bayonet [Am]in me[A] hand[Am]
I [A]work each [E]day [G]upon the docks
and see [A]the ships come [Am]in
an[E]d no o[A]ne asks t[D]o see the color
of a sailor's [E]skin.[Am]
Side [A]by side [Am]they're working,
[D]men fro[Em]m Norway, Chi[D]na, Greece.
[A]Why can't the [D]statesmen [G]do the same
and [Am]let us live in peace?
