Chord Soldiering Life by Decemberists

verse 1 D C# ambling madly all over the town D the arbor wall you likened to a whisper C# i likened to a radio . D C# you were a brickbat , a bowery tough , D so rough they culled you from a cartoon . C# pulled out of your pantaloons . chorus A G# but you , my brother in arms , F#m E i’d rather i’d lose my limbs than let you come to harm . A G# but you , my bombazine doll F#m E the bullets may singe your skin and the mortars may fall . A E but i have never felt so much light F#m D than tonight , huddled in the trenches , A gazing on the battlefield . E our rifles blaze away . G D we blaze away . oh oh oh verse 2 D C# corporal bradley of regiment five D in proud array , standing by the bathing C# soldiers and the stevedores . D C# we laid on the mattress and tumbled to sleep D our eyes aligned , swaddled in our civies C# cradled in our dungarees . chorus A G# but you , my brother in arms , F#m E i’d rather i’d lose my limbs than let you come to harm . A G# but you , my bombazine doll F#m E the bullets may singe your skin and the mortars may fall . A E but i have never felt so much light F#m D than tonight , huddled in the trenches , A gazing on the battlefield . E our rifles blaze away . G D we blaze away . oh oh oh outro G D we blaze away . oh oh oh A E we blaze away . oh oh oh oh G D we blaze away . oh oh oh
