[G][Em][C][D][G][Bm][C][D]
[G]

[Verse 1]
It's [G]written in the [Em]ashes of the [C]village towns [G]we burn
It's written in the [Em]empty bed
of the [C]fathers unreturned
[Am]And [G]the chocolate in the children'[Em]s
eyes will [C]never under[D]stand
When you're [G]white boots
[C]marching in [D]a yellow [G]land

[Verse 2]
[Em]Red, blow the bugles of the dawn
The [D]morning has arrived,
you must be gone
And the [C]lost patrol chase
[D]their chartered souls
Like [G]cold whores following
[F]tired armies

[Interlude 1]
[F][G][F][G]

[Verse 3]
[G]Train them well,
the [Em]men who will be fighti[C]ng by your s[G]ide
And never turn [Em]your back if the
[C]battle turns the [Am]tide
For the [G]colors of [Em]a civil war are [C]louder
than com[D]mands
When you're [G]white boots
[C]marching in a [D]yellow [G]land

[Verse 4]
[G]Blow them from [Em]the forest and
[C]burn them from [G]your sight
Tie their hands be[Em]hind their back
and [C]question through [Am]the night
But when the [G]firing squad is [Em]ready
They'll be [C]spitting where [D]they stand
At the [G]white [Bm]boots [C]marching
in a [D]yellow [G]land

[Verse 5]
[Em]Red, blow the bugles of the dawn
The [D]morning has arrived,
you must be gone
And the [C]lost patrol chase their
[D]chartered [Dsus4]souls[D]
Like [G]cold whores following [F]tired[G]

[Verse 6]
[G]The comic and the beau[Em]ty queen
are [C]dancing on [G]the stage
Raw recruits are [Em]lin ing up
like [C]coffins in a [Am]cage
We're [G]fighting in a [Em]war,
we lost be[C]fore the war [D]began
We're the [G]white boots
[C]marching in a [D]yellow land
[G][Em]

[Verse 7]
[D]And the los[C]t patrol chase
[D]their chartered souls
Like [G]cold whores following [F]tired armies
