Biografía:
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

CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
G C G C G C G D
[Verse 1]
G Em
I raised my son the Eighties way
C D
I never let him rest a day
C D G C G D
I said, "Wasting time can only lead to losing
G Em
When you're a man you'll be my son
C D
And I've never lost, I’ve always won
C D G C G
There are those who serve and those who do the choosing"
[Chorus]
Em
And I said, "Always fight, don't lose face
C
Always lead, never chase
A
No one knows the second place
D C D
So hurt and bleed, but win the race"
[Verse 2]
G Em
He was number one in every school
C D
He couldn't stand a wimp or fool
C D G C G D
Or anyone who dribble-drooled of caring
G Em
And he won the prizes, he won the fame
C D
Till everybody knew his name
C D G C G F
And they loved him for his devil-may-care daring
[Verse 3]
G Em
And I liked his taste, I liked his style
C D
And I knew that in a little while
C D G C G D
He'd begin to use his charm and guile to make it
G Em
He'd be the boss man of this town
C D
He’d let nobody push him down
C D G C G
He'd be the hardest, and the toughest and he'd take it
[Chorus]
Em
And I said, "Always fight, don't lose face
C
Always lead, never chase
A
No one knows the second place
D C D
So hurt and bleed, but win the race"
[Verse 4]
G Em
So when he passed the big exam
C D
I was proud he came, the Big I Am
C D G C G D
I could see he didn't give a damn who thought it
G Em
And I said it’s time you had your wheels
C D
So you can see how power feels
C D G C G
So I found the best and the fastest, and I bought it
[Verse 5]
C
In his sports car and designer jeans
G Em
He played the king of all the teens
Am C D G D C
And he soon found out, money means, best label
G Em
And the girls he had wore sweet perfume
C D
Their scent still lingered in his room
C D G C G
In the morning, he'd just smile across the table
[Instrumental]
Em C A D G D G C
[Verse 6]
G Em
Then last week in a country lane
C D
In darkness and in pouring rain
C D G C G D
A young kid must have been insane to try him
G Em
In a clapped out Ford with white-walled tyres
C D
His chiming horn lit my son's fires
C D G C G
As he flashed his beams and tried to roar on by him
[Verse 7]
C
And like the man I knew he'd be
G Em
My son chose to disagree
Am C D G D C
And they raced together fast to see who'd weaken
G Em
And just as my son pulled ahead
C D
A white-walled tyre lost its tread
C D G C G
And the two cars locked as flames became their beacon
[Chorus]
Em
And I said, "Always fight, don't lose face
C
Always lead, never chase
A
No one knows the second place
D C D
So hurt and bleed, but win the race____"
[Verse 8]
G Em
I raised my son the Eighties way

C D G C G D

C D
And I've never lost, I’ve always won
C D G C G
There are those who serve and those who do the choosing"
C D G C G
I know I was right to make him so afraid of losing
C D G
Because there are those who serve and those who do the choosing
