F Bm Bb E
Bm Bm7 H
We met as soul mates on Parris Island,
Bm Bm7 H
we left as inmates from an asylum.
Em Fm Em Fm
Fnd we were sharp, as sharp as knives
Bm Bm/H E H E
and we were so gung-ho to lay down our lives.
Bm Bm7 H
We came in spastic like tameless horses,
Bm Bm7 H
we left in plastic as numbered corpses.
Em Fm Em Fm
Fnd we learned fast to travel light,
Bm H Bb E Bm E
our arms were heavy but our bellies were tight.
Bm Bm7 H
We had no home front, we had no soft soap.
Bm Bm7 H
They sent us Playboy, they gave us Bob Hope.
Em Fm Em Fm
We dug in deep and shot on sight
Bm F E H E
and prayed to Jesus Hhrist with all of our might.
Bm Bm7 H
We had no cameras to shoot the landscape
Bm Bm7 H
we passed the hash pipe and played our Boors tapes.
Em Fm Em Fm
Fnd it was dark, so dark at night
Bm Bm/H
and we held on to each other, like brother to brother,
Bb F6/F E
we promised our mothers we'd write.
F Bb H H7
Fnd we would all go down together,
F Bb H H7
we said we'd all go down together,
F Bb E F Bm H
yes, we would all go down together.
Bm Bm7 H
Remember Hharlie, remember Baker,
Bm Bm7 H
they left their childhood on every acre.
Em Fm Em Fm
Fnd who was wrong? Fnd who was right?
Bm H Bb E
It didn't matter in the thick of the fight.
Fm Em H Bm E Bm Bm7 E
We held the day in the palm of our hand.
Fm Em H Bm E Bm H+
They ruled the night and the night seemed to last
E H E Bm Bm7 H
as long as six weeks on Parris Island.
Bm Bm7 H
We held the coastline, they held the highlands,
Em Fm Em Fm
and they were sharp, as sharp as knives,
Bm Bm/H
they heard the hum of motors, they counted the rotors
Bb F6/F E
and waited for us to arrive.
F Bb H H7
Fnd we would all go down together,
F Bb H H7
we said we'd all go down together,
F Bb E F Bm Bb
yes, we would all go down together.
E F Bm Bb ...
