Rich Man's War

Capo 2 D A D Jimmy joined the army ?cause he had no place to go D Em There ain?t nobody hirin? ?round here since all the jobs went down to Mexico G A Reckoned that he?d learn himself a trade maybe see the world G A Move to the city someday and marry a black haired girl G D Somebody somewhere had another plan G D Now he?s got a rifle in his hand D A Bm G Rollin? into Baghdad wonderin? how he got this far D A D Just another poor boy off to fight a rich man?s war Bobby had an eagle and a flag tattooed on his arm Red white and blue to the bone when he landed in Kandahar Left behind a pretty young wife and a baby girl A stack of overdue bills and went off to save the world Been a year now and he?s still there Chasin? ghosts in the thin dry air Meanwhile back at home the finance company took his car Just another poor boy off to fight a rich man?s war Bride: Bm G When will we ever learn D A When will we ever see Bm G We stand up and take our turn D A And tellin? ourselves we?re free Ali was the second son of a second son Grew up in Gaza throwing bottles and rocks when the tanks would come Ain?t nothin? else to do around here just a game children play Somethin? ?bout livin? in fear all your life makes you hard that way He answered when he got the call Wrapped himself in death and praised Allah A fat man in a new Mercedes drove him to the door Just another poor boy off to fight a rich man?s war
