Intro:Em
A7
I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me
C B7
To go looking for the enemy, and it wasn't very long
Em A7
Before I would stand with another boy in front of me
C B7 D
And a corpse that just fell into me, with bullets flying around
G A7
And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on
C B7
And I bet you're making shells back home for a steady boy to wear
G A7
Round his neck, well it won't hurt to think of you as if you're waiting
C B7
For this letter to arrive, you will be hear quite a while
Em A7
I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me
C B7
To go looking for the enemy, and it wasn't very long
Em A7
Before I found out that the sickness there ahead of me
C B7
Went beyond the bedsit infamy, of the decade gone before
G A7
And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on
C B7
And I bet you're making shells back home for a steady boy to wear
G A7
Round his neck, well it won't hurt to think of you as if you're waiting
C B7
For this letter to arrive, you will be hear quite a while
Break: Em, A7, C, B7 x2
Em A7
I fought in a war, and I didn't know when it would end
C B7
It stretched before me infinitly, I really couldn't think
Em A7
Of the day beyond now, keep your head down pal
C B7
Theres trouble plenty in this hour, this day, I can see hope I can see the
light
G A7
And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on
C B7
And I bet you're making shells back home for a steady boy to wear
G A7
Round his neck, well it won't hurt to think of you as if you're waiting
C B7
For this letter to arrive, you will be hear quite a while.
End with Em, A7, C, B7
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official BELLE AND SEBASTIAN tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
