Album: Upside, Downside
Am
I jumped straight at it when I had the chance,
Dm F
I joined the army and I went to France
E H7 Am
At Roose velt's request.
Am
Two weeks of sitting in the mud
Dm F
Made me lie to the man that I could drive a truck
E H7 Am
For the Red Ball Express.
Ref.
F
All we do is keep it rolling on
Dm
Trading bodies for petroleum
C
Heating rations on the manifold
E
And never sleep enough to dream about home
Am
Benzedrined and looking through cat eyes
Dm F
Of a deuce and a half and a days supply
E H7 Am
Of jerry cans in back
Am
Aint no secret how the generals felt.
Dm F
Fuck the men they can eat their belts
E H7 Am
but the tanks they must have gas"
Ref.
F
All we do is keep it rolling on
Dm
Trading bodies for petroleum
C
Heating rations on the manifold
E
And never sleep enough to dream about home
Vers.
Am
The gears are sticking and the pressure's low
Dm F
I felt the bump that means its time to go
E H7 Am
Another twenty miles.
Am
Thirty-six hours and I still ain't slept
Dm F
I'm hearing voices talk inside my head
E H7 Am
In Burma Shaving rhyme
Ref.
F
All we do is keep it rolling on
Dm
Trading bodies for petroleum
C
Heating rations on the manifold
E
Even now I've never felt that old
Vers.
Am
Because fifty years later and you don't forget
Dm F
Being eighteen and scared to death
E H7 Am
In a world that's changing fast
Am
Now my own son sends his own son off
Dm F
To fight the next fight to be fought
E H7 Am
And the Red Ball brings me back..
