Bm Em Our little army boy F#m A Is coming home from b.f.p.o. Bm Em I've a bunch of purple flowers F#m A To decorate a mammys hero. Bm Em Mourning in the aerodrome, F#m A The weather warmer, he is colder. Bm Em Four men in uniform F#m A To carry home my little soldier.

Chorus 1

Bm What could he do? E D Should have been a rock star. F#m Bm But he didnt have the money for a guitar Bm What could he do? E D Should have been a politician. F#m Bm But he never had a proper education. Bm What could he do? E D Should have been a father. F#m Bm But he never even made it to his twenties. D What a waste -- G Bm Army dreamers. G D/F# Ooh, what a waste of G Bm G Army dreamers.

Verse 2

Bm Em Tears oer a tin box. F#m A Oh, jesus christ, he wasnt to know, Bm Em Like a chicken with a fox, F#m A He couldnt win the war with ego. Bm Em Give the kid the pick of pips, F#m A And give him all your stripes and ribbons. Bm Em Now hes sitting in his hole, F#m A He might as well have buttons and bows.
