-SONG: TIN SOLDIER
-ARTIST: STIFF LITTLE FINGERS
-TABBER: GREG STONE
Intro: EEEEEEEEE
E A D A
He joined up to get a job and show he wasn't scared
E A D A
Swapped boy scout hat for army cap, he thought he'd be prepared
Gbm B A E
At the age of 17 he was forced to choose
Gbm B A A
At the age of 21 he's in Catch 22
E E E E
E A D A
He joined up for just three years, it seemed a small amount
E A D A
But they didn't tell him that the first two didn't count
Gbm B A E
At the age of 17 how was he to know
Gbm B A A
That at the age of 21 he'd still have one to go?
(Chorus:)
E A
Tin soldier, he signed away his name
D A
Tin soldier, no chance for cash or fame
E A
Tin soldier, now he know the truth
D A
Tin soldier, he signed away his youth
E E E E
E A D A
He joined up cos Dad knew best, to do right by his son
E A D A
And now he hates and counts the dates that mark time on square one
Gbm B A E
At the age of 17 he did as he was told
Gbm B A A
Now at the age of 21 tin still won't turn to gold
(Chorus)
E E E E E E E E
E
If at the age of 17 you fall in line too soon
E
Then at the age of 21 you'll still march to their tune
Solo: Gbm, B, E,A
E A
Tin soldier, you signed away your name
D A
Tin soldier, no chance for cash or fame
E A
Tin soldier, you never see the truth
D A
Tin soldier, you sign away your youth
E A
Tin soldier, you go and join the queue
D A
Tin soldier, do what they want you to
E A
Tin soldier, they take away your name
D A
Tin soldier, they treat you all the same
E A B
Sign away your life
