Soldiers Song

A#maj7 A# F I met my enemy today C Dm Baby takes the little one out to play A#maj7 A# F Enemy shot two of my buddies down C Baby rides the little one on the merry-go-round A#maj7 A# F By my post, I'm standing guard C Dm Baby hopes for roses in the front yard A# F I don't know my enemy's name C Baby takes the little one to a baseball game harmonica solo A#maj7 A# Dm x 2 A#maj7 A# F I am in this God forsaken place C Dm While baby wipes the dirt from the little one's face A# F Ten years old in the killing fields C Baby's planning the weekly meals A#maj7 A# F Bodies in a body ditch C Dm Baby's got supper to fix A# F My brother's got a hole in his head C Baby gets the little one ready for bed harmonica solo A#maj7 A# Dm x 2 A#maj7 A# F Today I shot my enemy C Dm Baby gives the little one a hug for me A# F Both my buddy's legs got blown off C Baby tends to the little one's cough A#maj7 A# F I stare down in the barrel of a gun C Dm Baby's going out to have some fun A# F And I hear ringing in my ear C My baby's face is all wet with tears harmonica solo A#maj7 A# Dm x 4 A#maj7 A# F I can't look my enemy in the eye C Dm Baby tells the little one daddy's gone bye-bye A# F Today I took a bullet in the heart C Now Baby's gonna have to make a brand new start harmonica solo A#maj7 A# Dm x 4 A# F I met my enemy today C Dm Baby sends the little one out to play A# F Enemy shot and took my body down C Baby rides the little one on the merry-go-round
