Biography:
Billy Joel (born William Martin Joel on May 9, 1949 in Bronx, New York, USA) is an American pianist, singer-songwriter, and composer. Since releasing his first hit song, "Piano Man," in 1973, Joel has become a multi-million-selling recording artist. Joel recorded many popular hit songs and albums from 1971 until he stopped recording pop/rock music in 1993. He is one of the very few rock (or even pop) artists to have Top 10 hits in the '70s, '80s, and '90s.

Dm/F G7 C
We met as soul mates on Parris Island,
C/E Dm/F G7 C
We left as inmates from an asylum
Em Am Em Am
And we were sharp, as sharp as knives
Dm Dm/C G/B F/A G
And we were so gung-ho to lay down our lives
VERSE
Dm/F G7 C
We came in spastic like tameless horses,
C/E Dm/F G7 C
We left in plastic as numbered corpses
Em Am Em Am
And we learned fast to travel light,

Our arms were heavy but our bellies were tight

We had no home front, we had no soft soap
C/E Dm/F G7 C
They sent us Playboy, they gave us Bob Hope
Em Am Em Am
We dug in deep and shot on sight
Dm Dm/C G/B Fadd9/A G
And prayed to Jesus Christ with all of our might
VERSE (+ bridge)
Dm/F G7 C
We had no cameras to shoot the landscape
C/E Dm/F G7 C
We passed the hash pipe and played our Doors tapes
Em Am Em Am
And it was dark, so dark at night
Dm Dm/C
And we held on to each other, like brother to brother,
Bb F/A Gm
We promised our mothers we'd write
CHORUS
C/Bb F/A Bb C C/Bb
And we would all go down together,

We said we'd all go down together,

Yes, we would all go down together

Dm/F G7 C
Remember Charlie, remember Baker,

It didn't matter in the thick of the fight

Dm/F G7 C
Six weeks on Parris Island
C/E Dm/F G7 C
We held the coastline, they held the highlands,
Em Am Em Am
And they were sharp, as sharp as knives,
Dm Dm/C
They heard the hum of motors, they counted the rotors
Bb F/A Gm
And waited for us to arrive
CHORUS
