_ _ When I [F] was just a young [C] boy, all my friends [G] they went to war.
_ And I [F] just stood there asking, [C] _ _ what [G] are you going for?
_ My [F] best friend he [Eb] told [C] me, we're all boys [G] just 17.
I sign up [F] now, see the world, [C] taste its wine [G] and touch its green.
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ I [F] just stood there [Cm] gasping, not a [G] word could I say.
_ Then I caught [F] my breath and shouted, [Cm] Stockholm that [C] is another [Gm]
way.
I [C] said, [F] just dig at your [Cm] thumbs, they'll take [Gm] you where you want to go.
[G] _ _ And [F] if they don't take [Cm] you, maybe you [G] were supposed to go.
Oh, _ [Bb] I wonder _ [C] just how far, [G] well they didn't go.
Oh, _ [Bb] I wonder _
_ [C] just how far, [G] well they didn't go.
_ _ Seven [Bb] years [F] have gone [Cm] by, back to that town [G] I had to go.
_ _ I see my [F] friends who [Eb] left there, [C] _ see my [Gm] friends [G] what they had to show.
_ _ Saw [F] this girl and [Cm] asked her, which way would [G] the people be?
_ And she [F] just started laughing, [Cm] _ laughing [G] that right at me.
_ _ _ [F] So _ _
_ [Cm] _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ I feel [F] no pity [Eb] people, [Cm] _ for the [G] person in the war.
If all [F] the people stopped [C] fighting, there would [Gm] be [G] no war no more.
_ Oh, _ [Bb] I wonder _ [C] just how far, well [G] they will go.
_ Oh, I [Bb] wonder _ [C] just how far, [Gm] well they will go.
[G] Oh, _ _ [Bb] I wonder _ [F] just how far, [G] well they will go.
_ _ _ [Gm] [Bb] I wonder just [C] _ how far, [G] well they will go.
_ Oh, [Bb] I wonder [Cm] just how far, [G] well they will go.
