D
THE CALL CAME OUT THIS MORNING
Em
WE'RE GOING OFF TO WAR
G
FOR GOD AND QUEEN AND COUNTRY
A
FOR THE CHILD THAT AIN'T BEEN BORN
D
FOR WHAT WE BELIEVE IN
Em
FOR WHAT WE KNOW IS RIGHT
G
THEY MARCH US DOWN MAIN STREET
A
TO SHOW THE WORLD OUR MIGHT


G A Bm
CHORUS: FORTY THOUSAND BOYS HAVE GONE TODAY
G A D
FORTY THOUSAND MORE ARE ON THE WAY
G A Bm
CAUSE WERE TAUGHT TO BELIEVE THAT WHAT WERE DOING IS RIGHT
G A D
BUT FORTY THOUSAND BOY'S WILL DIE TONIGHT


D
ME AND MY BROTHER TOMMY
Em
WERE AMONG THE FIRST ONES OUT THE DOOR
G
THEY MUST OF HEARD US COMING LORD
A
THEY HEARD OUR BATTLE ROAR
D
BULLETS FLYING ALL AROUND
Em
(Spoken)SOMEONE HIT THE GROUNG
G
BUT WE KEPT ON A PUSHING LORD
A
WE HELD THE HIGH GROUND




CHORUS---------------------------------------------
PIANO AND VIOLIN BREAK


D
IT'S BEEN TEN YEARS TO THE DAY
Em
SENSE THAT DREADFUL NIGHT
G
OUR PARENTS GOT THE LETTER
A
SAYING TOMMY LOST HIS LIFE
D
FIGHTING FOR HIS COUNTRY
Em
AND DOING WHAT IS RIGHT
G
BE PROUD OF YOUR YOUNG SON
A
HE DIED A HERO THAT NIGHT
