Start Jamming...
This is a song for a friend of mine who got killed back in Belfast.
[B]
[Am] [G] This is called Wasted Life.
[A]
I could be a soldier, [Dm] go out there [A] and fight to [G] save this country.
[A] Be a people soldier, paramilitary [G] guardian.
[A] I will be a soldier,
[G] [A] I can drop a bucket on the hill.
[G]
[E] And we will win, [B] [E] we will win, [A] we will [E] win.
[A] [G] [D]
[A] [F#] I can [E] drop a beat to the [F#] beat, say it in my [E] own dialect, just say it in [F#] British.
I'm not [E] sorry that it comes to [F#] fall, every [G#] time I hear the country call.
[E]
[A] [E] [A] [E]
[A] [D] [A]
Till they come up to me, with a different kind of [G] strangle press.
I
[A] can see the connection, with a different kind [G] of embrace.
[A] I can drop it on the hill, I'm from the kitchen of [G] Belfast for rice.
[A] And I've been dropped on by a ship, but I'm still here to fight like the rice.
And I [E] wanna waste my life, I wanna waste [A] my time.
I [E] wanna waste my life, and [G]
ignore [D] it.
[A] I wanna waste my life, and [E] ignore it.
[A] [E] I wanna [A] waste my time, [E]
[A] and [G] ignore it.
[D] [A]
