intro :
B * ( 2x )

verse 1 :
B *
this is the story of a six string soldier
G#m *
down in the trenches six years bolder
F# *
sleeve bloody from the heart he’s worn there
E * F# * G#m * A#m * B *
but the valley gives the mountain such a sweeter taste in my mouth

G#m *
is so much louder than my thoughts and
F# *
i won’t take my foot from the door stand
E
up with your weapons of war
F# G#m A#m B
’cause the man is going down

chorus :
B
oh oh , you and me can go
G#m
so , oh , famously you know
F#
like lennon and ono
E F# G#m A#m B
except with out the loco oh
B
la la , who cares what you are?
G#m
ah , ah , i’m no superstar
F#
but with this weapon on my shoulder
E F# G#m A#m B
i’ll be your six string soldier

B G#m
la la la la laaaaaa hey
F# E F# G#m A#m B ( stop )
la la la la laaaaa

verse 2 :

this is the glory of a boyhood pipe dream
G#m *
to wear a crown and make the girls scream
F# *
tongue hungry for some more of that sweet tea
E F# G#m A#m B
but the days of taking it easy for the honey could come back with a sting

di didido
G#m
dididi dididaaaa
F#
and i swear to go far
E F#
so watch out
G#m A#m B
’cause the man is singing now

bridge : ( strum once )
C#m F#
though my heart is breaking now
B E
you know i’ll be back in town
C#m F#
and this love it will restore
B E
much finer than before

E *
this thing is huge ( that’s what she said )
F# * E *
it’s just the beginning of something new
E * F# * G#m * A#m * B
it’s the start of me and

chorus :
B ( play softly; slowly building up to E )
oh oh , you and me can go
G#m
so , oh , famously you know
F#
like lennon and ono
E F# G#m A#m B
except with out the loco oh
B ( play as usual )
la la , who cares what you are?
G#m
ah , ah , i’m no superstar
F#
but with this weapon on my shoulder
E F# G#m A#m B
i’ll be your six string soldier

B
oh oh , you and me can go
G#m
so , oh , famously you know
F#
like lennon and ono
E F# G#m A#m B
except with out the loco oh
B
la la , who cares what you are?
G#m
ah , ah , i’m no superstar
F#
but with this weapon on my shoulder
E F# G#m A#m B
i’ll be your six string soldier
