Ballad For A Soldier 1971

[Verse 1]
When I was just a young boy I played with swords and guns
And I dreamed of the day I'd become a soldier
And kill all of the enemies, My country 'tis of thee
I sing this anthem sadly, won't you hear me
[Verse 2]
I watched the cannons blazing on the giant silver screen
The swastikas were burning and the hero was me
The general gave the order, Gladly I obeyed
But the movie faded quickly all at once today
[Chorus]
And now I stand alone with the charges made
C G D G E
Nowhere to run, not a place to hide
We're sad little children playing grown-up games
C G D A
Guess the time has come, the damage has been done
E G A
Woh stray dogs that live on the highway walk on three legs
G A E
'Cause they learn too slow to get the message
E G A
Just like the Indians in the ear-ly days
Battles lost and won yet it still goes on
It's just another ballad for a soldier
[Intrumental]

[Verse 3]
I had no understanding till I saw my mother cry
When they told her how many babies I had killed that night
A dozen color photographs inside of a magazine
A G A G E
Told the morbid story like a movie screen
[Verse 4]
But I was not the hero that I thought myself to be
A G A G E
Movies are much different than reality
The general was convicted to get off of the hook
But the President might free me for the chance I took
[Chorus]
And [now I'll|we all] stand alone when the charge is made
C G D G E
Sad way to live but what a way to die
We're all little children playing grown-up games
C G D A
Can we burn the gun before the next time comes?
E G A
Oh, stray dogs that live on the highway walk on three legs
G A E
They move to slow to get the message
E G A
Give up and win, that's all I have to say
We haven't really won till all the fightin's done
And there are no more ballads for the soldiers
