[Intro] FDmBbG
DmDm7C We met as soul mates on Parris Island, DmDm7C we left as inmates from an asylum. EmAmEmAm And we were sharp, as sharp as knives DmDm/CGCG and we were so gung-ho to lay down our lives.
DmDm7C We came in spastic like tameless horses, DmDm7C we left in plastic as numbered corpses. EmAmEmAm And we learned fast to travel light, DmCBbGDmG our arms were heavy but our bellies were tight.
DmDm7C We had no home front, we had no soft soap. DmDm7C They sent us Playboy, they gave us Bob Hope. EmAmEmAm We dug in deep and shot on sight DmFGCG and prayed to Jesus Christ with all of our might.
DmDm7C We had no cameras to shoot the landscape DmDm7C we passed the hash pipe and played our Doors tapes. EmAmEmAm And it was dark, so dark at night DmDm/C and we held on to each other, like brother to brother, BbF6/AG we promised our mothers we'd write.
FBbCC7 And we would all go down together, FBbCC7 we said we'd all go down together, FBbGFDmC yes, we would all go down together.
DmDm7C Remember Charlie, remember Baker, DmDm7C they left their childhood on every acre. EmAmEmAm And who was wrong? And who was right? DmCBbG It didn't matter in the thick of the fight.
AmEmCDmEDmDm7E We held the day in the palm of our hand. AmEmCDmEDmC+ They ruled the night and the night seemed to last ECEDmDm7C as long as six weeks on Parris Island. DmDm7C We held the coastline, they held the highlands, EmAmEmAm and they were sharp, as sharp as knives, DmDm/C they heard the hum of motors, they counted the rotors BbF6/AG and waited for us to arrive.
FBbCC7 And we would all go down together, FBbCC7 we said we'd all go down together, FBbGFDmBb yes, we would all go down together.
