1st Verse:
The picking patterns are quite hard to tab but I'll try my best,
the notes are all here you may have to mess around with them a bit tough.
"I'd like to be a soldier of war..."

Do this bit twice then the verse again...
Chorus:
I'll call this the chorus... The last part of the chorus can just be
played as 8 on the bottom string but I've tabbed a little variation that can be heard.
"Now the stars don't shine and the birds don't sing anymore... It's not the same..."
