I Fought in a War Belle and Sebastian
I think B can be played also as B7, but i am not sure.
[Em] I fought in a war and I l[A]eft my friends behind me
To go [C]looking for the enemy, and it [B]wasnt very long
[Em] Before I would stand with [A]another boy in front of me
And a c[C]orpse that just fell into me, with the [B]bullets flying round...
1st chorus:
And I r[G]eminded myself of the words you [Am]said when we were getting on
And I [C]bet youre making shells back home for a s[B]teady boy to wear
Round his n[G]eck, well it wont hurt to think of[Am] you as if youre waiting for
This l[C]etter to arrive because Ill [B]be here quite a while
2nd verse:
[Em] I fought in a war and I l[A]eft my friends behind me
To go l[C]ooking for the enemy, and it w[B]asnt very long
[Em] Before I found out that the s[A]ickness there ahead of me
Went be[C]yond the bedsit infamy of the d[B]ecade gone before
2nd chorus:
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/belle_and_sebastian/i_fought_in_a_war_crd_ver_3.html )
And I re[G]minded myself of the words you [Am]said when we were getting on
And I [C]bet youre making shells back home for a s[B]teady man to wear
Round his n[G]eck, well it wont hurt to think of[Am] you as if youre waiting for
This l[C]etter to arrive because Ill b[B]e here quite a while
3rd Verse:
[Em] I fought in a war, and I d[A]idn't know where it would end
It str[C]etched before me infinitely, I c[B]ouldn't really think
[Em] Of the day beyond now, keep your [A]head down pal
There's trouble plenty[C] in this hour, this day
I can see h[B]ope I can see light
3rd Chorus
And I re[G]minded myself of the looks you [Am]gave when we were getting on
And I [C]bet youre making shells back home for a s[B]teady man to wear
Round his n[G]eck, well it wont hurt to think of[Am] you as if youre waiting for
This l[C]etter to arrive because Ill b[B]e here quite a while
