Bm                      G    
Nothin' happening in my life he 
         A               Bm
said, lying one night in his bed
   Bm                G            
He had enough of the job centers, 
        A                 Bm
like he had enough of his city and 
guilds
         Bm                       
Then his mother she cried, and he 
G              A                
asked her why, this she said by way 
Bm
of reply
     Bm                     
Your grandaddy fought in the 
 G                       A        
fourteen eighteen, your father too
     Bm
 in fourty four
    Bm                   G        
Now little Mickeys gonna run away 
    D
and find himself a war
    Bm                     G      
Now Mickey ain't smart but Mickey 
               A                 
ain't dumb, in fact all he wanted 
        Bm
was to have a little fun
     Bm                            
He's bored with the streets and the
 G                    A           
 pubs he knows and he don't want 
            Bm
to marry the girls he knows
     Bm                       
He's lived all his life in his 
 G                  D
northern town, his father ain't 
around
                 Bm

         A                      G
leaving home, Mickey's leaving home

                 Bm
didn't get his legs blown away
     Bm                         
They gave him medals for kicking 
 G                   A            
front doors in, now Mickeys grown 
           Bm
up and he ain't laughing
    Bm                          
But when he was a boy, remembers 
 G                  A             
less than two, the stories of the 
                Bm
Irish that his telly told him
    Bm                         G  
But since he went there now he 
           D

tenderly, they carried him to the 
          Bm
beach then they walked away
Bm               G               
Mickey was lucky there that day, 
A                            
even though he laughs he can't 
  Bm
explain it away
