Belle & Sebastian

Belle & Sebastian - I Fought In A War guitar tab

Intro:Em

A7

I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me

C B7

To go looking for the enemy, and it wasn't very long

Em A7

Before I would stand with another boy in front of me

C B7 D

And a corpse that just fell into me, with bullets flying around

G A7

And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on

C B7

And I bet you're making shells back home for a steady boy to wear

G A7

Round his neck, well it won't hurt to think of you as if you're waiting

C B7

For this letter to arrive, you will be hear quite a while

Em A7

I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me

C B7

To go looking for the enemy, and it wasn't very long

Em A7

Before I found out that the sickness there ahead of me

C B7

Went beyond the bedsit infamy, of the decade gone before

G A7

And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on

C B7

And I bet you're making shells back home for a steady boy to wear

G A7

Round his neck, well it won't hurt to think of you as if you're waiting

C B7

For this letter to arrive, you will be hear quite a while

Break: Em, A7, C, B7 x2

Em A7

I fought in a war, and I didn't know when it would end

C B7

It stretched before me infinitly, I really couldn't think

Em A7

Of the day beyond now, keep your head down pal

C B7

Theres trouble plenty in this hour, this day, I can see hope I can see the

light

G A7

And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on

C B7

And I bet you're making shells back home for a steady boy to wear

G A7

Round his neck, well it won't hurt to think of you as if you're waiting

C B7

For this letter to arrive, you will be hear quite a while.

End with Em, A7, C, B7
