John Mayall And The Bluesbreakers - The Fighting Line Chords

[verse 1]
 
 
             Em Am                 Em
It had to be me of all the ones to choose
                   Am     D                Em
The way my luck is going, I always seem to lose
        Bm                Am
They're sending me to the fighting line
  Em       D          C        D          Em  Am  Em
I hope the Army don't leave me dead in my grave
 
[verse 2]
Em                Am                 Em
Hey give me a pen, I'll do the paperwork
                   Am     D                   Em
I'm the typewriter king, I'd make a damn good clerk
      Bm            Am
Don't put me on the fighting line
      Em       D          C             D    Em  Am  Em
Cause I won't give you my life just to throw away
 
[verse 3]
Em                        Am                 Em
They've given me furlough till they take me away
                       Am   D                Em
But there's not enough time when you want to stay
Bm                   Am
Soon it's off to the fighting line
    Em      D           C       D          Em  Am  Em
And I'll be waiting and writing home every day
 
[verse 4]
 
Em                     Am                  Em
It's a little too long to live on borrowed time
                           Am           D                          Em
While they're having their peace talks, they're killing friends of mine
Bm                        Am
I'll be running from the fighting line
        Em   D             C        D            Em  Am  Em
If it's gonna mean I'll be walking out of here alive
