The Soldiering Life Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Ambling madly all over the tow[B]n
The call to arms, you're likened to a [C]whisper
I liken [B]to a [C]radio
You were a brick bag a bowery [B]tough,
so rough
They called you from a [C]cartoon
Pulled out of [Em]your [B]pantaloons

[Verse 2]
But [G]You
My brother in [F#]arms
I'd rather I'd [Em]lose my limbs
Than let you come to harm
[D]

[Verse 3]
But [G]You
My [F#]bombazine doll
The bullets may [Em]singe your skin
And the mortars [D]may fall

[Verse 4]
But [G]I
I never felt [D]so much life
Than to[Em]night
Huddled in the [C]trenches
Gazing on the [G]battle field
Our rifles [D]blaze away
We [F]blaze away
[C]

[Verse 5]
Corporal Bradley of regiment [B]five
And proud array standing
by the [C]bathing
Soldiers [B]and [C]the stevedores
We laid on the mattress and
tumbled [B]to sleep
Our eyes align, swaddled in [C]our civies
Cradled in [B]our dungarees

[Verse 6]
But [G]You
My brother in [F#]arms
I'd rather I'd [Em]lose my limbs
Than let you come to harm
[D]

[Verse 7]
But [G]You
My [F#]bombazine doll
The bullets may [E]singe [Em]your skin
And the mortars [D]may fall

[Verse 8]
But [G]I
I never felt [D]so much life
Than to[Em]night
Huddled in the [C]trenches
Gazing on the [G]battle field
Our rifles [D]blaze away
We [F]blaze [C]away
We [G]blaze [D]away
We [F]blaze away
