_ _ We [Dm] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ met _ as _ [Dm] _ soulmates on _ [C] Paris Island.
_ We left [G] as _ inmates _ from an [C] _ asylum.
_ _ And we were [Em] sharp, _ _ _ [F] as sharp [Em] as knives.
_ [Am] _ And we [Dm] were so gung-ho to lay down [G] our lives.
_ _ _ We came [F] in spastic, _ _ [G] like [C] tameless horses.
_ _ We left [F] in _ plastic, _ [G] as [C] numbered corpses.
_ _ And we [Em] learned fast _ [Am] _ to [Em] travel light.
_ _ [Am] _
Our [Dm] arms were heavy, but our bellies were [Bb] tight. _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ We [C] _
[G] had [F] no home front. _
[G] We had [C] no soft soap.
They sent [F] us _ Playboy.
They [G] gave [C] us Bajo. _
We dug [Em] in deep _ [Am] and _ shot [Em] on sight.
_ _ [Am] _
And prayed [Dm] to Jesus Christ with all of our [G] might.
_ [Am] _ _ [G] _
We had no _ [F] cameras _ to [C] shoot the landscape. _
We passed [F] the hash-mine _ [G] and played [C] our _ doorsteps.
And it was _ [E] _ _
[Am] so dark and night, [Em] night, night.
[Am] _ And we [Dm] held on to each _ other, [F] like brother to brother.
_ [Bb] We promised _ _
[Dm] _ as we'd [Gm] _ write. _
_ [C] When [F] we were _ all [Bb] on our own _ [C] together, _ _ _
_ [F] we said we'd all [Bb] go down _ [C] together.
_ _ _ [Bb] _
Yes, [F] we would all [Bb] go _
[A] down [G] together. _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ Remember _ _ _ [F] _ Charlie, _ _
_ [G] remember [C] _ Baker. _ _
[Em] They left [F] their childhood _ _ [C] on every acre. _ _
And who was, _ [E] _ _ [Am] _
and who was, _ [Em] _ _ [Am] _
it [Dm] didn't matter.
We were [C] sick of the [Bb] _ fight. _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] We _ _ _ [G] held [C] the day _ _ _
_ [D] _ [E] in the palm _ _
_ [F] _ [E] of our hand. _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ They _ _ _ ruled [C] the night. _ _ _
_ [D] And [E] the night _ _
_ [F] seemed [G] to last as long [F] as six weeks [G] on [C] Parris _ Island. _
We held [F] the _ coastline. _
They held [C] the _ highland. _
And they were sharp, [E] _ _ [Am] _
as sharp [G] as knives, [Em] knives, knives.
[Am] _
They heard [Dm] the hum of _ _ boaters.
They [F] counted the _ rotors [Bb] and waited for [Am] us to _ [Gm] arrive. _ _ _ _
[Bb] And we [F] would all [Bb] go down _ [C] together.
_ _ _ [Bb]
We said [F] we'd all [Bb] go _ down [C] together.
_ _ _ [Bb] _
Yes, [F] we would all [Bb] go _ [Dm]
down [G] together. _ _ _ _ _ _
