Come on boys

D, Em, G, D

D            Em
As I see the poppies fall
G                      D
I try to think what it must have been like
D        Em
To fight and die
     G         D
In a war, what for

D           Em
And all the promises made
G        D
The only one they kept
D           Em
Was to take their land
    G             A
And never give it back, yeah

   Em            G                        A   Asus
If only they had said what they wanted to say
   Em             G              A
It doesn´t allways turn out that way

D            Em
As I see the poppies fall
G                D
See the futility of it all
D                Em
And as I see the poppies fal
G                   A
I see the futility, oooh

    D            Em
You left me that morning
G                   D
To catch yourself a plane
D                     Em
I didn´t know what to say
         G           D
I didn´t wanna start again

D                 Em
I didn´t want you to go
G                   D
Didn´t know what to say
D                          Em
I drank my drink and pulled on my coat
        G                A
And as I shut the door a lump came to my throat

       Em         G                     A
And if only I had said what I wanted to say
   Em             G              A
It doesn´t allways turn out that way, hey, hey, hey

D            Em
As I see the poppies fall
G                  D
I see the futility of it all
D                Em  G   A
Oh, as I see the poppies fall, oh, oh

D            Em
As I see the poppies fall
G                  D
I see the futility of it all
D                Em      G A
Oh, as I see the poppies fall, oh, oh

D            Em
As I see the poppies fall
G                  D
I see the futility of it all
D                Em  G A
Oh, as I see the poppies, hey, hey, hey
