D G

G

Am
and broken half way in
C G
when a security guard appears
C Am
and busts me on the chin
C G

C Am

G
now im sucking dust in helmand
Am
dug into lashkar gar
C G
where the local weed and opium
C Am

C G
i know as we lay there dreaming
C Am
im still in the pay of thieves
G C
and im rushing back to be with you
D G
upon this desert breeze

G
over the mountains
Am
and over the seas
C G

Am
in bloody kandahar
C G
with the eerie glow of tracers
C Am
lighting every wretched scar
C G
and say a prayer for me
C Am
and cry each year this day
G C
so if you see a recruiting sergeant boys
D G
run , run away

G

D G
that means everything to me
