Never Returned

	  		
Intro: A 

verse 1 
A 
He dropped outta school when he was 16 
         E 
He said: "Mum and Dad I'm gonna be a Royal Marine" 
      B 
So he went down to the AFCO 
    D 
and signed his name to the Queen's payroll 

A 
Basic training went by in the breeze 
E 
Didn't break a sweat, he passed it with ease 
B 
A lot dropped out but not our boy 
     D 
The next thing he knows, he is on foreign soil 

A 
Shoved to the front with a gun in his hand 
    E 
The boy that went out came back a different man 
    B 
His eyes once bright, now seem dull 
D                     A 
What he saw, he never told 

A 
For six month at a time he's on the front line 
     E 
then back home again to see his family and friends 
    B 
But time moves quick and he's off again 
D 
that's the last time we?ll - see - him 


D                  B 
Don't know what he saw 
   A     G#     F# 
He never said a word 
        D                   E       A 
Coz the boy that went away never re-turned

A 
Was it worth all the broken hearts?

Fighting wars that ain't even ours? 
B 
Believe me or not but he did come back 
       D 
in the wooden box drapped in Union Jack...
