Army Dreamers

Bm              Em
Our little army boy
   F#m              A
Is coming home from b.f.p.o
Bm                     Em
I've a bunch of purple flowers
   F#m        A
To decorate a mammys hero

Bm                  Em
Mourning in the aerodrome
    F#m             A
The weather warmer, he is colder
Bm             Em
Four men in uniform
   F#m           A
To carry home my little soldier

[Chorus 1]
E                       D
Should have been a rock star
             F#m                  Bm
But he didnt have the money for a guitar
E                      D
Should have been a politician
             F#m             Bm
But he never had a proper education
E                    D
Should have been a father
             F#m                 Bm
But he never even made it to his twenties
       D
What a waste --
G    Bm
Army dreamers
G      D/F#
Ooh, what a waste of
G       Bm       G
Army dreamers

[Verse 2]
Bm           Em
Tears oer a tin box
 F#m              A
Oh, jesus christ, he wasnt to know
Bm             Em
Like a chicken with a fox
 F#m              A
He couldnt win the war with ego

Bm           Em
Give the kid the pick of pips
 F#m              A
And give him all your stripes and ribbons
Bm           Em
Now hes sitting in his hole
 F#m              A
He might as well have buttons and bows

[Chorus 2]
E                       D
Should have been a rock star
             F#m                  Bm
But he didnt have the money for a guitar
E                      D
Should have been a politician
             F#m             Bm
But he never had a proper education
E                    D
Should have been a father
             F#m                 Bm
But he never even made it to his twenties
D
What a waste --
G    Bm
