Sixty rounds and seventy pounds, that's what they packed 
   G                                              D
Sixty rounds and seventy pounds, that's what they packed
             A 
That day in Normandy
                           D
When they died for you and me


Ratta tat tat tatt
 G            D
Ratta tat tat tatt
                          A
Bloody surf on the beach-head

And you question America's vision and good will?
               A
Like Hell, you will
             D
I've had my fill
