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
********
G Em
I was clearing out the attic
C D
When I found this battered case
B7 Em
With its handle broke and that old word ‘folk’
A7 D
Still stencilled on its face
B7 Em
Now it's cobwebbed and it's dusty
A7 D
But it takes me to the past
G Em
And it was Nineteen-sixty-nine
C D
I opened this guitar case last
------------------
CHORUS
*******
C G
When they said try your luck in London
C G/B D
That's where the rainbow ends
C G
But I got lost in lonely London
D Em
With so many friends
C G
I got lost in lonely London
D7 G Em C D
Where the rainbow ends
------------------
VERSE 2
********
G Em
You should have seen the big man, Alex
C D
When he sang us up a storm
B7 Em
He had heart and soul, and he set the goal
A7 D
If you wanted to perform
B7 Em
So, I bought myself a Gibson
A7 D
Just the same as Alex had
G Em
And I practised night and day
C D
Until I drove my parents mad
------------------
CHORUS
*******
C G
And they said try your luck in London
C G/B D
That's where the rainbow ends
C G
But I got lost in lonely London
D Em
With so many friends
C G
I got lost in lonely London
D7 G
Where the rainbow ends
------------------
BRIDGE
*******
Em
I knew every Seeger ballad
D
I knew every Campbell song
Em
And I sang them right, every day and night
A7 D
Till I'd been on that road too long
Em
'Cause there were others out there working
D
Singing choruses galore
Am
But there was only one called Alex
D7 G D/F#
We were all just one clone more
------------------
VERSE 3
********
G Em
So I climbed up to the attic
C D
With this bent and battered case
B7 Em
Its handle broke, that old word ‘folk’
A7 D
Still stenciled on its face
B7 Em
Now it's been for too long silent
A7 D
With its memories of the past
G Em
So it's time it went to someone
C D
Who could make it sing at last
------------------
CHORUS
*******
C G
So, try your luck in London
C G/B D
That's where the rainbow ends
C G
But don't got lost in lonely London
D Em
With so many friends
C G
Don't got lost in lonely London
D7 G
Where the rainbow ends
------------------
CHORUS
*******
C G
Try your luck in London
C G/B D
That's where the rainbow ends

But don't got lost in lonely London
