Singing Out The Days Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Half the front's out there, half- buried
Some of them alive
The rest of us,
we freeze and pray for Spring
"Dearest Mother
Fill my lungs till victory or food arrives"
What else can we do out here but sing?

[Verse 2]
[Em]Sixteen years and [D]never been kissed
Singing out the [A]days[D]
Jumped the [Em]queue and the [D]waiting list
Singing [C]out the days
Civvy suit's and [D]new recruit's
[C]Clean your rifle, [B]polish your boots
[C]Learn to [D]give the cor[C]rect salute
[D]Singing out the day[C]s singing
[D]Singing [C]singing, singing [Em]out the d[B]ays[C]
We march un[D]til we [C]drop
Then we go [D]over the [C]top
[D]Singing, [C]singing [Em]out the d[D]ays[C]
[D]Lice and rats along the trench
Singing out the [A]days[D]
Coffin nails to cover the [Em]stench
[D]Singing [C]out the [D]days
For [C]thirty weeks we [D]hold the line
While [C]all the toffs get reassigned
[B]Apa[C]rt from the war[D],
we're [C]doing [B]fine
[D]Singing out the [C]days singing
[D]Singing [C]singing, singing [Em]out the d[B]ays[C]
We march un[D]til we [C]drop
Then we go [D]over the [C]top
[D]Singing, [C]singing [Em]out the d[C]ays
[C#m]Song s for d[D]rowning out the shells
Singing out the [A]days
[D]Songs to prove you're alive and well
Singing out the days
[C]Songs for our human[D]ity in
The [C]face of inhumanity
[B]To dem[D]onstrate your san[C]ity
[B]Sin[D]ging out the day[C]s singing
[D]Singing [C]singing, singing [Em]out the d[B]ays[C]
We march un[D]til we [C]drop
Then we go [D]over the [C]top
[D]Singing, [C]singing [Em]out the days
