[Verse 1]
Bm Em F#m A
Our little army boy is coming home from B. F. P. O.
Bm Em6 F#m A
I've a bunch of purple flowers to decorate a Mammys hero,
Bm Em F#m A
Mourning in the aerodrome, the weather warmer, he is colder,
Bm Em6 F#m A
Four men in uniform to carry home my little soldier
[Chorus 1]
Bm E D
(What should he do? Could've been a rock star!)
F#m Bm
But he didn't have the money for a gui - tar,
(What should he do?...
E D
...Could've been a poli - tician!)
F#m Bm
But he never had a proper edu - ca - tion,
(What should he do?...
E D
...Could've been a fath - er!)
F#m Bm D
But he never even made it to his twenties, what a waste,
G Bm G D G Bm
Army dreamers! Oo, what a bloody waste of army dreamers
[Verse 2]
Bm Em F#m A
Tears over a tin box, oh, Jesus Christ, he wasn't to know,
Bm Em6 F#m A
Like a chicken with a fox, he couldn't win his war with ego,
Bm Em
Give the kid the pick of pips,
F#m A
And give him all your stripes and ribbons,
Bm Em6
Now he's lying in his hole,
F#m A
He might as well have buttons and bows
[Chorus 2]
Bm E D
(What should he do? Chould've been a rock star!)
F#m Bm
But he didn't have the money for a gui - tar,
(What should he do?...
E D
...Chould've been a poli - tician!)
F#m Bm
But he never had a proper edu - ca - tion,
(What should he do?...
E D
...Could've been a fath - er!)
F#m Bm D
But he never even made it to his twenties, what a waste,
G Bm Bm G D G Bm
Army dreamers! What a bloody waste of army dreamers

G Bm G Bm G Bm
Army dreamers! Army dreeeeeeamers!

(Army dreamers. Army dreamers.
G Bm G Bm G
Army dreamers.)
