[C] [Ab]
[F]
We met [Cm] as soulmates [F] on [Bb] Parasite
We left [Cm] as inmates [F] from [Bb] Manasite
Then we [Dm] were shoved
[Gm] as [Dm] shovels
[Gm] And we [Cm] were so gung-ho to lay down our [F] [Bb]
[F] lives
[D] We [Cm] came in spastic [F] like [Bb] tameless horses
We [Eb] left in plastic [F] as [Bb] numbered corpses
And we [Dm] learned fast [Gm] to [Dm] travel light
[Gm] Our [Cm] arms were heavy [Bb] but our bellies were [Ab] tight
[Eb] [Ab] [Bb] [F]
[Bb] [Cm] [F] [C]
[F]
We had no [Cm]
home front, [F] we had [Bb] no soft suit
[Gm] They sent [Eb] us Playboy, they [F] gave [Bb] us Bob Hope
We dug [Dm] in deep [Gm] and shone [Dm] on sight
[Gm] And prayed [Cm] to Jesus [Bb] Christ with all of [F] our might
[Gm] [F] We had [Eb] no cameras to [F]
shoot [Bb] the landscape
[D] We [Eb] passed the hash pipe [F] and [Bb] cleared all doorsteps
And it [Dm] [Gm] was so dark at night
[Dm] [Gm] And [Cm] we held on to each other [Eb] like brother to brother
We [Ab] promised our [Gm] mothers we'd [Fm] rise
[Ab] And [G] we'd all [Ab] go down
[Bb] together
We said [G] we'd [Eb] all [Ab] go [Am] down
[Bb] [Ab] Yes, we [G] will all [Gm] [Ab] go [G] down
[F]
[Eb]
[C]
[F] [Bb] [F] Remember [Eb] Charlie, [F] remember [Bb] Baker
They [D] left [Eb] their childhood [F] on [Bb]
every acre
Said who was [Dm] wrong [Gm] and who was [Dm] right
[Gm] The [Cm] German banner [Bb] in the thick of the [Ab]
night
[F]
[Gm]
We [F] held [Bb] the day [Gm] [C] in [D] the palm [G] [Eb]
[D] of our hands
[Gm] And then [Am] through [Bb] the night
[C]
And [G] the [D] night [Eb]
seemed [F] to last as long as [Eb] six weeks
[F] On [Bb] Paris side we [D]
[Eb] held the coastline
[F] They [Bb] held the highlands
And they [Dm] were sharp [Gm] and sharp as [Dm] knives
[Gm] They heard [Cm] the hum of our motors
They [Eb] counted the [Gm] rotors
[Ab] And waited for [Gm] us to [Fm] arrive
[D] And we [G] will [Eb] all [Ab] go down
[Bb] together
[Ab] We said [G] we'd [Eb] all [Ab] go [Am] down
[Bb] together
[Ab] Yes, we [G] will all [Gm] [Ab] go [Gm] down
[F] together
