Iraq

G

[Verse 1]
N.C.              G
I was an Army mechanic
                  C
I worked with the men
               G
I worked on my back
               D
I tried to fit in
                    G
Torque wrenches and ratchets
                 C
Multi-meters and scales
             G
Grease on my face
             D
Grease on my hands
                G
Grease under my nails

[Chorus]
           G7         C
And it was so hard to see
         G
Till it attacked
     D           G
My enemy wasn't Iraq

[Verse 2]
                      G
Soldiers bartered and traded

That's the way our world worked
                    G
Trading favors for favors
             D
The sand and the dirt
                G
What I wouldn't give them
              C
They'd try to take
              G    D
And when I refused them
             G
They made me pay

[Chorus]
           G7         C
And it was so hard to see
           G
Until it attacked
     D           G
My enemy wasn't Iraq

[Verse 3]
           G
I stood my ground
              C
I didn't give in
         G
I drew a line
           D
Again and again
                        G
When they whistled and whispered
                        C
When the wind kicked up dust
                G
I'd look to the sky
             D
Ask the Lord why
                G
I had no one to trust

[Chorus]
                      C
And it was so hard to see
           G
Until it attacked
     D           G    G7
My enemy wasn't Iraq

[Otro]
               C
A salute and a wink
                    G
A little pat on the back
     D           G    C   G
My enemy wasn't Iraq
