D B7
Hello darling, this is the army,
Em
I've just got the time to write,
A
Today we attack, there's no turning back,
D G D A
The boys they're all ready for the fight,
D B7
Yes, I'm well but this place is like hell,
Em
They call it Passchendaele,
A
In nineteen seventeen the war must be ending,
D G D
The General said this attack will not fail,
G F#
So I'm writing down this simple little melody
Bm F#m Em F#
When you play it my love, think of me...
Em D A D Em
We'll be together in this song for you,
A D B7 Em A D G D
And it goes La la la...
A D B7 Em A D G D A
Sing it darling, La la la...
D B7
They got old Bill and the Sergeant is still out there,
Em
Wounded in some shellhole,
A
They say this war will end all wars,
D G D A
Oh God I really hope it will,
D B7
Oh how's old England, are they still singing
Em
Those songs that we loved to sing,
A
When all this is over, we'll go sailing in Dover,
D G D
Catching fish like we used to with a string,
G F#
Oh I miss you, I miss you, I miss you so!
Bm F#m Em F#
If they get me my love you will know...
Em D A D Em
We'll always be together in this song for you...
A D B7 Em A D G D
And it goes La la la...
A D B7 Em A D G D A D B7 Em A D G D A D B7 Em A D G D A
I have to go now...
