Intro G  C (x2) 

verse 1 

G                   C 
Boarding the train, 
G                      C    G             C  G 
I don't know if I will ever see her again, 
       D              Em 
But of one thing I am sure, 
                   D 
I'm heading off to war, 
      C              G 
I may not come back again.

G                  D 
What's the cost to win, 
Em                          C 
People say we'll change the world,  
G                  D 
but where do I fit in, 
Em             D        Em 
At least I can wave goodbye, 
                   D 
To the apple of my eye, 
        C     D     G 
Oh this crazy crazy world.

saying be strong in this fight,  
    C            D                           G 
and carrying me through these troubled times.

verse 2 
  
G                 C   G 
Do you understand, 
G             C  G                    C  G 
as I put that 20 dollars in your hand, 
    C         D        Em 
The task that you must do, 
                          D 
It may mean that's all to you, 
             C    D        G     C  G 
but it means everything to me. 


   G                    D 
My friends they may get lost, 
              Em                C                   G                 D 
cause they're fighting for what they believe but if you were all I've got, 
         Em            C 
put your picture in my Pocket-watch, 
G              D        Em            C 
capturing that smile is all I want to do for now,  
G               D 
I may be gone a while,  
    Em            *C   *C  *C  C 
but I will make it back somehow.
