G
Over the mountains
Am
And over the seas
C G
By Hurcules transporter
C Am
To fight the Afghani
C G
With a rifle in my hand
C Am
To set the country free
G C
Its your picture in my pocket
D G
That means everything to me
G
So I fixed up the alarm
Am
And broken half way in
C G
When a security guard appears
C Am
And busts me on the chin
C G
He kicks me round and says
C Am
Do you know the shit youre in
G C
I said I was on me arse mate
D G
Meant no offence to him
G
Over the mountains
Am
And over the seas
C G
By Hurcules transporter
C Am
To fight the Afghani
C G
With a rifle in my hand
C Am
To set the country free
G C
Its your picture in my pocket
D G
That means everything to me
G
I know Ive let you down babe
Am
Trying to make ends meat
C G
When I met this recruiting sergeant
C Am
By the courthouse on the street
C G
He said youre a disgrace boy
C Am
And thats youre fucking crime
G C
Then somebody got the drinks in
D G
And I signed on the dotted line
G
Over the mountains
Am
And over the seas
C G
By Hurcules transporter
C Am
To fight the Afghani
C G
With a rifle in my hand
C Am
To set the country free
G C
Its your picture in my pocket
D G
That means everything to me
G
Now Im sucking dust in Helmand
Am
Dug into Lashkar Gar
C G
Where the local weed and opium
C Am
Beats any British bar
C G
I know as we lay there dreaming
C Am
Im still in the pay of thieves
G C
And Im rushing back to be with you
D G
Upon this desert breeze
G
Over the mountains
Am
And over the seas
C G
By Hurcules transporter
C Am
To fight the Afghani
C G
With a rifle in my hand
C Am
To set the country free
G C
Its your picture in my pocket
D G
That means everything to me
Instrumental break
G, Am, C, G, C, Am, C, G, C, Am, G, C, D, G
G
Dont follow me to die boys
Am
In bloody Kandahar
C G
With the eerie glow of tracers
C Am
Lighting every wretched scar
C G
And say a prayer for me
C Am
And cry each year this day
G C
So if you see a recruiting sergeant boys
D G
Run, run away
G
Over the mountains
Am
And over the seas
C G
By Hurcules transporter
C Am
To fight the Afghani
C G
With a rifle in my hand
C Am
To set the country free
G C
Its your picture in my pocket
D G
That means everything to me
G
Over the mountains
Am
And over the seas
C G
By Hurcules transporter
C Am
To fight the Afghani
C G
With a rifle in my hand
C Am
To set the country free
G C
Its your picture in my pocket
D G
That means everything to me
G C
Its your picture in my pocket
D G
That means everything to me
