Am C F
i got drafted at nineteen
G F
me and a bunch of boys from home
Am C F C
january forty – three ,
D F
drove out to pine bluff and signed on

Am C F
went to basic south of birmingham
G F
put me on west coast bound train
Am C F C
spent three days out in san diego
D F
and they shipped me back east again

Am C F
left a port out of new york
G F
slept for months in british rain
Am C F C
tore it up down in london town
D F
and they shipped me back out again

C G F C
the preacher said boys he who is killed tonight
D F
will dine with the lord in paradise
C G F C
one boy spoke up , said preacher come on
D F
eat your supper with us

Am C F
never talk about those first days
G F
lots of friends left behind
Am C F C
but i made it all the way across france
D F
and i fought at the maginot line

Am C F
road a tank into belgium
G F
liked them better than the french
Am C F C
like my Daddy , thirty years before
D F
i did my time in a trench

Am C F
lots of days there’s no water
G F
but the liquor kept me warm
Am C F C
the cellars were stocked to their ceilings with booze
D F
so i carried a bottle with my gun

C G F C
the preacher said boys he who is killed tonight
D F
will dine with the lord in paradise
C G F C
one boy spoke up , said preacher come on
D F
eat your supper with us

Am C F
three times i made sergeant
G F
i’m not that kind of man
Am C F C
and pretty much just as quick as i could
D F
i get busted back to private again

Am C F
cause taking orders never suited me
G F
giving them out was much worse
Am C F C
i could not stand to get my friends killed
D F
so i took care of myself first

Am C F
now i know that don’t sound right
G F
don’t think too bad of me
Am C F C
now it keeps me up nights
D F
what i could have done differently

C G F C
the preacher said boys he who is killed tonight
D F
will dine with the lord in paradise
C G F C
one boy spoke up , said preacher come on
D F
eat your supper with us

C G F C
i’d be no guest at the table of the lord
D F
his food was not to be mine
C G F C
cause i cursed his name every chance that i could
D F
and i recon that’s why i’m still alive
