Dm Dm7 C
We met as soulmates on Parris Island
Dm Dm7 C
We left as inmates from an asylum
Em Am Em Am
And we were sharp as sharp as knives
Dm C G C G
And we were so gung-ho to lay down our lives
C Dm Dm7 C
We came in spastic like tameless horses
Dm Dm7 C
We left in plastic as numbered corpses
Em Am Em Am
And we learned fast to travel light
Dm C Bb G Dm G
Our arms were heavy but our bellies were tight
C Dm Dm7 C
We had no homefront we had no soft soap
Dm Dm7 C
They sent us Playboy They gave us Bob Hope
Em Am Em Am
We dug in deep and shot on sight
Dm F G C G
and prayed to Jesus Christ with all of our might
C Dm Dm7 C
We had no cameras to shoot the landscape
Dm Dm7 C
We passed the hash pipe and played our Doors tapes
Em Am Am
And it was dark so dark at night
Dm F
And we held onto each other like brother to brother
Bb F G
We promised our mothers we'd write
F Bb C C7
And we would all go down together
F Bb C C7
We said we'd all go down together
F Bb G F Dm C
Yes we would all go down together

C Dm Dm7 C
Remember Charlie Remember Baker
Dm Dm7 C
They left their childhood on every acre
Em Am Em Am
And who was wrong And who was right
Dm C Bb G
It didn't matter in the thick of the fight

Am Em C Dm E Dm E
We held the day in the palm of our hand
Am Em C Dn E
They ruled the night and the night
Dm C Em Dm Dm7 C
Seemed to last as long as six weeks on Parris Island
Dm Dm7 C
We held the coastline They held the highland
Em Am Em Am
And they were sharp as sharp as knives
Dm
They heard the hum of the motors
F
They counted the rotors
Bb Dm7 G
And waited for us to arrive

F Bb C C7
And we would all go down together
F Bb C C7
We said we'd all go down together
F Bb G
Yes we would all go down together
