Biography:
Harvey Andrews (born Harvey John Andrews, May 7, 1943 in Birmingham) is an English singer, songwriter, and poet.
From 1964, Andrews supported his nascent career as a singer/songwriter by working as a schoolteacher, before becoming a full-time professional musician in 1966.
Andrews has produced 15 successful albums singing his own songs, many of which have also been recorded by other artists.
His emotive The Soldier transmits the same quiet desperation of a soldier about to die "in conflict" as Wilfred Owen's Dulce Et Decorum Est

VERSE 1
********
C G
Well, a cheeky young-a lad took the rise out of me
Am F
So I clipped his ear, I was twenty-three
C Am Em G
And I laughed when he ran, said that he'd tell his dad
C G
'Cause I’d done the same when I was a boy
Am F
When cheeking grownups was a young lad’s joy
C Am Em G
But you never let on that you'd gone and done anything bad
F G
No, you never let on that you'd gone and done anything bad
-----------------------
VERSE 2
********
C G
Then a cheeky young-a lad took the mick out of me
Am F
So I chased him off, I was thirty-three
C Am Em G
And I got close enough to see the tear in his eye
C G
And I said, "If you talk like that once more
Am F
I'll tell your dad and you'll get what for"
C Am Em G
But I smiled to myself, next time the laddie walked by
F G
Yes, I smiled to myself the next time the laddie walked by
-----------------------
CHORUS
*******
Am
Cheeky young-a lad, like I used to be
F
Cheeky young-a lad, oh, why can't you see?
D G
Cheeky young-a lad, one day you'll be just like me
-----------------------
VERSE 3
********
C G
Well, a cheeky young-a lad stood and swore at me
Am F
So I swore right back, I was forty-three
C Am Em G
And I could give as good as I got any day of the year
C G
But it made me boil and it made me rage
Am F
It made me feel every year my age
C Am Em G
And when he stood his ground, well I tell you, then I found fear
F G
When he stood his ground, well I tell you, then I found fear
-----------------------
CHORUS
*******
Am
Cheeky young-a lad, like I used to be
F
Cheeky young-a lad, oh, why can't you see?

Cheeky young-a lad, one day you'll be just like me

VERSE 4
********
C G
Well, a cheeky young lad came and jostled me
Am F
He just pushed right past, I was fifty-three
C Am Em G
And when I shouted, "Hey!" he just walked away with a sneer
C G
And I raised my fist, but I felt afraid
Am F
Of the young lad's swagger and the world we'd made
C Am Em G
And I wished it was like it had been just yesteryear
F G
Yes, I wished it was like it had been just yesteryear
-----------------------
VERSE 5
********
C G
Because a cheeky young lad came and battered me
Am F
Took my money and ran and I’m sixty-three
C Am Em G
And I wish I was dead, instead of being kept alive
C G
Because a cheeky young lad is waiting for me
Am F
If ever I get to seventy-three
C Am Em G
And the next time, I don't think I can survive
F G C Am
A cheeky young lad who's waiting for me to arrive
F G C Am F G
The cheeky young lad who's waiting for me to arrive
