Soldier Boy

G

[Verse 1]
F              C            Dm7 
Marching once again under a 
      C
myriad of stars
F                C           Dm7
Young men to the cause where all
            Am
 is fair in love and war
    F         C             Dm7  
But rules are rules, and no mercy
        C
 can be shown
       F               C          
In the fields of the departed, 
   Dm7        C
where history is born


[Verse 2]
   F                 C        Dm7
In all the lines and prose of war
         C
 and its ways
    F                    C        
The words that speak the loudest 
       Dm7                 Am
are the ones that you would never 
say
     F            C             
From Arras to the Somme and the 
Dm7             C
hell of Passchendaele
    F                C            
For ninety years and counting, 
       Dm7              C
since you told your bloody tale


[Chorus]
F            G            Am    
Hey, soldier boy, is your 
          F
conscience clear?
        C                     F
Is your mind on the road from hell 
and back
                       G     F
To the one you love so dear?
           G                Am
I know you live in constant fear
    F                       C     
And that's just the way the world 
              Dm7       C
seems through roses and tears

[Verse 3]
         F               C        
When the battle cries no more, and
     Dm7              C
 the martyr's work is done
        F              C          
Did the voices in your head tell 
      Dm7            Am
you to walk along the pathway
       F                 C         
Of the righteous and the good, and 
Dm7            C
leave it all behind
       F               C          
In the fields of the departed with
     Dm7              C
 the remnants of your mind?


[Chorus]
F            G            Am    
Hey, soldier boy, is your 
          F
conscience clear?
        C                     F
Is your mind on the road from hell 
and back
                       G     F
To the one you love so dear?
           G                Am
I know you live in constant fear
    F                       C     
And that's just the way the world 
              Dm7            Am  F
seems through roses and tears
                 Am      F
Through roses and tears
                 Dm7     F
Through roses and tears
          Dm7    D
Roses and tears

[Verse 4]
   F             C          Dm7  
So saddle up the horses and 
          C
tighten up the reins
F               C        Dm7    
Face the bitter winds of tyranny
     Am
 and shame
   F                    C         
We blind ourselves with grace and 
Dm7            C
favours of the heart
       F               C          
So our minds can hide away in the 
Dm7             C
darkness of our past


[Chorus]
    F            G          
So, hey, soldier boy, is your 
  Am              F
conscience clear?
        C                     F
Is your mind on the road from hell 
and back
                       G     F
To the one you love so dear?
           G                Am
I know you live in constant fear
    F                       C     
And that's just the way the world 
              Dm7       C
seems through roses and tears


[Chorus]
F            G            Am    
Hey, soldier boy, is your 
          F
conscience clear?
        C                     F
Is your mind on the road from hell 
and back
                       G     F
To the one you love so dear?
           G                Am
I know you live in constant fear
    F                       C     
And that's just the way the world 
              Dm7       Am
seems through roses and tears
