E B7 E
Jimmy joined the army ?cause he had no place to go
F#m
There ain?t nobody hirin? ?round here since all the jobs went down to Mexico
A F#m

Reckoned that he?d learn himself a trade maybe see the world
A F#m B7
Move to the city some day and marry a black haired girl
A E
Somebody somewhere had another plan
A E
Now he?s got a rifle in his hand
B7 C#m
Rollin? into Bagdhad wonderin? how he got this far
E B7 E
Just another poor boy off to fight a rich man?s war
E A E B7
E B7 E
Bobby had an eagle and a flag tattooed on his arm
F#m
Red white and blue to the bone the day he landed in Kandahar
A F#m B7
Left behind a pretty young wife and a baby girl
A F#m B7
A stack of overdue bills and went off to save the world
A E
Been a year no and he?s still there
A E
Chasin? ghosts in the thin dry air
B7 C#m
Meanwhile back at home the finance company took his car
E B7 E
Just another poor boy off to fight a rich man?s war
E A E B7

C#m A
When will we ever learn
C#m B7
When will we ever see
C#m A
Stand up and take our turn
C#m B7
Tellin? ourselves we?re free
E B7 E
Ali was the second son of a second son
F#m
Grew up in Gaza throwin? bottles and rock when the tanks would come
A F#m B7
Ain?t nothin? else to do around here just a game children play
A F#m B7
Somethin? about livin? in fear all your life makes you hard that way
A E
He answered when he got the call
A E
Wrapped himself in death and he praised Allah
B7 C#m
A fat man in a new Mercedes drove him to the door
