INTRO
MI FA#m (2x) MI FA#m MI MI FA#m
MI FA#m MI MI FA#m MI MI DO#m
1ST VERSE:
DO#m
We were the children of '45
DO#m
Loaded like pistols and taught how to die
SI LA DO#m
We looked the enemy straight in the eye (And never surrendered)
DO#m
Through trenches dug in the back of my mind
DO#m
I go over the top time after time
SI LA DO#m
Me and the ones we left behind (Faces I'll always remember)
CHORUS
MI
Now there's no fight left within me
RE FA#m DO#m
But the writing of this wrong
DO#m SI LA
As nations we're divided, but as people we are one
LA MI SI
Like brothers in blood, it seems that we've been
DO#m
Too long a soldier
MI SI DO#m
2ND VERSE:
DO#m
In the city of monuments
DO#m
Among the flags of all governments
SI LA DO#m
The order of battle is written in the shadows of a hard black line
DO#m
Where people cry for a nation's scars
DO#m
And heroes sleep beneath a blanket of stars
SI LA DO#m
Too young to die, but never too old to play the General's game
CHORUS
MI
Now there's no life left within them
RE FA#m DO#m
But the memory lingers on
DO#m SI LA
As nations we're divided, but as people we are one
LA MI SI
For brothers in blood we sing that we've been
DO#m
Too long a soldier
BRIDGE:

SI MI
Eternal flames blow in the wind,
MI LA SI
I've been too long a soldier
SI MI
Captain of the Guard, I'm coming in
MI LA SI
Too long, too long a soldier
FA#m LA
I've seen so much worth dying for
FA#m LA DO#m
So little worth killing over
SI DO#m
Hey

Too long, too long a soldier

I've seen so much worth dying for
FA#m LA
So little worth killing over
SI MI
Soldiers gone before me
MI LA SI
I will surely fade away
SI MI
My eyes have seen the glory, and the suffering and the pain
MI LA SI
I've been too long a soldier
MI LA SI
Too long, too long a soldier
MI LA SI
I've been too long a soldier
DO#m MI
