[Verse 1]
BmEmF#mA
Our little army boy is coming home from B. F. P. O.
BmEm6F#mA
I've a bunch of purple flowers to decorate a Mammys hero,
BmEmF#mA
Mourning in the aerodrome, the weather warmer, he is colder,
BmEm6F#mA
Four men in uniform to carry home my little soldier
[Chorus 1]
BmED
(What should he do? Could've been a rock star!)
F#mBm
But he didn't have the money for a gui - tar,
(What should he do?...
ED
...Could've been a poli - tician!)
F#mBm
But he never had a proper edu - ca - tion,
(What should he do?...
ED
...Could've been a fath - er!)
F#mBmD
But he never even made it to his twenties, what a waste,
GBmGDGBm
Army dreamers! Oo, what a bloody waste of army dreamers
[Verse 2]
BmEmF#mA
Tears over a tin box, oh, Jesus Christ, he wasn't to know,
BmEm6F#mA
Like a chicken with a fox, he couldn't win his war with ego,
BmEm
Give the kid the pick of pips,
F#mA
And give him all your stripes and ribbons,
BmEm6
Now he's lying in his hole,
F#mA
He might as well have buttons and bows
[Chorus 2]
BmED
(What should he do? Chould've been a rock star!)
F#mBm
But he didn't have the money for a gui - tar,
(What should he do?...
ED
...Chould've been a poli - tician!)
F#mBm
But he never had a proper edu - ca - tion,
(What should he do?...
ED
...Could've been a fath - er!)
F#mBmD
But he never even made it to his twenties, what a waste,
GBmBmGDGBm
Army dreamers! What a bloody waste of army dreamers
BmEmF#mABmEm6F#mABmEmF#mABmEm6F#mABmED
(What should he do? Could've been a rock star!)
F#mBm
But he didn't have the money for a gui - tar,
ED
(He could've been a poli - tician!)
F#mBm
But he never had a proper edu - ca - tion,
(What should he do?...
ED
...Should've been a fath - er!)
F#mBmD
But he never even made it to his twenties, what a waste,
GBmGBmGBm
Army dreamers! Army dreeeeeeamers!
GBmGBmGBm
(Army dreamers. Army dreamers.
GBmGBmG
Army dreamers.)
