Biography:
Harvey Andrews (born Harvey John Andrews, May 7, 1943 in Birmingham) is an English singer, songwriter, and poet.
From 1964, Andrews supported his nascent career as a singer/songwriter by working as a schoolteacher, before becoming a full-time professional musician in 1966.
Andrews has produced 15 successful albums singing his own songs, many of which have also been recorded by other artists.
His emotive The Soldier transmits the same quiet desperation of a soldier about to die "in conflict" as Wilfred Owen's Dulce Et Decorum Est

C
In the days when we had nothing
D
And the rent was overdue
G
We never ever worried
G7 C
And we'd always see it through
We didn't mind the hard times
D
We just said 'I love you'
G G7 C
In the days when we had nothing we had fun.
Am
But now the mortgage won't get smaller
And the rates are on the rise
D
The bills come every morning
G G7
And I find to my surprise
C E
That with a house, a car, a fridge, a bar
F Fm
And all that money buys
C G G7 C
In the days when we had nothing we had fun.
C
In the days when we had nothing
D
But the dreams we knew we shared
G
There were empty shelves and old tin cans
G7 C
But neither of us cared
We said 'we can't' we knew we shouldn't
D
Then we went and dared
G G7 C
In the days when we had nothing we had fun.
Am
But now the mortgage won't get smaller
And the rates are on the rise
D
The bills come every morning
G G7
And I find to my surprise
C E
That with a house, a car, a fridge, a bar
F Fm
And all that money buys
C G G7 C
In the days when we had nothing we had fun.
C
In the days when we had nothing
D
We had everything and more
G
We had all the years ahead
G7 C
And there were years ahead below
But it's taken all those years for me
D
To find what living's for
G G7 C
Let's forget that we've got something and have fun
Am
'Cos now the mortgage won't get smaller
And the rates are on the rise
D
The bills come every morning
G G7
And I find to my surprise
C E
That with a house, a car, a fridge, a bar
F Fm
And all that money buys
C G7
In the days when we had nothing
C G7
In the days when we had nothing
C G G7 C
In the days when we had nothing we had fun.
