[Intro 1]
[A][D][G][Em][C]
[A]

[Verse 1]
We met as [Em]soul mates
On [A]Parris [D]Island
We left as [Em]inmates
From [A]an [D]asylum
And we [A]were sharp[Bm]
As sharp as [A]knives
[Bm]And we were so g[Em]ung ho
To lay down our [A]lives[G]
[A]We came in

[Verse 2]
[G]spastic
Like [A]tameless [D]horses
We left in [Em]plastic[G]
As [A]numbered [D]corpses
And we learned [F#m]fast
[Bm]To travel ligh[F#m]t
[Bm]Our arms were heav[Em]y
But our bellies [G]were tight
[C][A][D][A][Em]

[Verse 3]
[A]
We had no [G]home [Em]front
[G]We [A]had no sof[D]t soap
They sent us [Em]Playboy
[G]The[A]y gave us Bob[D] Hope
We dug [F#m]in deep
[Bm]And shot on sigh[F#m]t
[Bm]And prayed to Jesus [Em]Christ
With all of our [A]might[Em]
[A]We had no

[Verse 4]
[Em]cameras
[G]To sho[A]ot the[D] landscape
We passed the [Em]hash pipe
[G]And[A] played our Doo[D]rs tapes
And it was [F#m]dark
[Bm]So dark at night[F#m]
[Bm]And we held on t[Em]o each other
Like brother to brother
We [C]promised our [G]mothers we'd [Am]write
[D]And we would all[G] go dow[C]n together[D]
[C]We [D]sai[G]d we'd all
go [C]down [A]toget[D]her
Yes we would [G]all go [C]down [Em]together
[A][G][Em]

[Verse 5]
[A]Remember
[Em]Charlie
[G]Remem[A]ber Bak[D]er
They left [Em]their childhood
[G]On eve[A]ry acr[D]e
And who was [F#m]wrong?
[Bm]And who was righ[F#m]t?
[Bm]It didn't matt[Em]er in the thick
of [G]the fight
[C][A]

[Verse 6]
[Bm]
We [A]held the [D]day
[E]In the [F#]palm
[G]Of our [F#]hand[A][D][F#m][Bm]
They [A]ruled the [D]night
[Em]And the [F#]night
[G]Seemed to [A]last as long as [G]six weeks
On [A]Parris [D]Island

[Verse 7]
We held the [Em]coastline
[G]The[A]y held the hig[D]hlands
And they [F#m]were sharp
[Bm]As sharp as kn[F#m]ives
[Bm]They heard the h[Em]um of our motors
They counted the rotors
And [C]waited for [G]us to ar[Am]rive
[D]And we would [G]all go [C]down to[D]gether
We said we'd all [G]go [C]down [A]toget[D]her
Yes we would all [G]go [C]down [G]tog[A]ether
