Fortune Of Soldiers

Am C D Am F C Was the fortune of soldiers to be always at war G F Sighting down the barrel at whatever comes? Am F C Till the fighters forgot what they were doing it for G D And reason was lost in the sound of the drums Am F C 'Twas the fortune of soldiers to be always alone G F Forgetting the faces of all their loved ones Am F C Far from their daydreams, far from their homes G D Love songs were drowned in the sound of the drums G G/B Don't you know the dream has come true? C Don't you know by now the dream has come true? F When they say that peace can never be C It's a fantasy, they didn't know about you G G/B Don't you know the dream has come true? C Don't you know by now the dream has come true? F When they say that peace can never be Am They weren't imagining what one dreamer can do Am F C 'Tis the fortune of bankers and builders of arms G F To worship the profit however it comes Am F C Up in their towers, sheltered from harm G D Far from the smoke and the sound of the drums Am F C 'Tis the fortune of dreamers to see what they see G F To live with the scorn till the miracle comes Am F C To teach us the music and show us the key G D And the chorus to silence the sound of the drums G G/B Don't you know the dream has come true? C Don't you know by now the dream has come true? F When they say that peace can never be C It's a fantasy, they didn't know about you G G/B Don't you know the dream has come true? C Don't you know by now the dream has come true? F When they say that peace can never be Am They weren't imagining what one dreamer can do Am F C G F Am F C G D Am F C 'Tis the fortune of children to have such a choice G F To grow up to be dreamers or builders of guns Am F C Born to be angels, born to rejoice G D Not to grow up to the sound of the drums G G/B Don't you know the dream has come true? C Don't you know by now the dream has come true? F When they say that peace can never be C It's a fantasy, they didn't know about you G G/B Don't you know the dream has come true? C Don't you know by now the dream has come true? F When they say that peace can never be It's a fantasy
