[Verse 1]
Bm             Em    F#m              A
Our little army boy is coming home from B. F. P. O.
Bm                 Em6              F#m        A
    I've a bunch of purple flowers to decorate a Mammys hero,
Bm                 Em            F#m             A
    Mourning in the aerodrome, the weather warmer, he is colder,
Bm             Em6       F#m           A
    Four men in uniform to carry home my little soldier

[Chorus 1]
 Bm                E                    D
(What should he do?  Could've been a rock star!)

              F#m                  Bm
But he didn't have the money for a gui - tar,
                                  (What should he do?...
   E                      D
...Could've been a poli - tician!)

             F#m                Bm
But he never had a proper edu - ca - tion,
                               (What should he do?...

   E                      D
...Could've been a fath - er!)

             F#m                 Bm       D
But he never even made it to his twenties, what a waste,
G    Bm       G              D               G     Bm
Army dreamers!    Oo, what a bloody waste of army dreamers

[Verse 2]
Bm             Em          F#m              A
Tears over a tin box, oh, Jesus Christ, he wasn't to know,
Bm               Em6           F#m              A
   Like a chicken with a fox, he couldn't win his war with ego,
Bm                 Em
   Give the kid the pick of pips,
    F#m               A
And give him all your stripes and ribbons,
Bm                  Em6
    Now he's lying in his hole,
  F#m                 A
He might as well have buttons and bows

[Chorus 2]
 Bm                E                    D
(What should he do?  Chould've been a rock star!)

              F#m                  Bm
But he didn't have the money for a gui - tar,
                                  (What should he do?...
   E                      D
...Chould've been a poli - tician!)

             F#m                Bm
But he never had a proper edu - ca - tion,
                               (What should he do?...

   E                      D
...Could've been a fath - er!)

             F#m                 Bm       D
But he never even made it to his twenties, what a waste,

G    Bm         Bm     G              D             G    Bm
Army dreamers!                What a bloody waste of army dreamers

Bm             Em          F#m              A
Bm             Em6         F#m              A

             F#m                 Bm       D

G      Bm         G    Bm              G    Bm
Army dreamers!     Army dreeeeeeamers!


 G      Bm           G    Bm   G       Bm
  (Army   dreamers.                Army     dreamers.

G    Bm    G       Bm             G
               Army    dreamers.)
