We met as soul mates on Parris Island,
we left as inmates from an asylum.
Em Am Em AmAnd we were sharp, as sharp as knives
Dm Dm/C G C Gand we were so gung-ho to lay down our lives.
Dm Dm7 C
We came in spastic like tameless horses,
we left in plastic as numbered corpses.
Em Am Em AmAnd we learned fast to travel light,
Dm C Bb G Dm Gour arms were heavy but our bellies were tight.
Dm Dm7 C
We had no home front, we had no soft soap.
They sent us Playboy, they gave us Bob Hope.
Em Am Em AmWe dug in deep and shot on sight
Dm F G C Gand prayed to Jesus Christ with all of our might.
Dm Dm7 C
We had no cameras to shoot the landscape
we passed the hash pipe and played our Doors tapes.
Em Am Em AmAnd it was dark, so dark at night
Dm Dm/Cand we held on to each other, like brother to brother,
we promised our mothers we'd write.
And we would all go down together,
F Bb C C7we said we'd all go down together,
F Bb G F Dm Cyes, we would all go down together.
Dm Dm7 C
Remember Charlie, remember Baker,
they left their childhood on every acre.
Em Am Em AmAnd who was wrong? And who was right?
Dm C Bb GIt didn't matter in the thick of the fight.
Am Em C Dm E Dm Dm7 E
We held the day in the palm of our hand.
They ruled the night and the night seemed to last
E C E Dm Dm7 Cas long as six weeks on Parris Island.
Dm Dm7 CWe held the coastline, they held the highlands,
and they were sharp, as sharp as knives,
Dm Dm/Cthey heard the hum of motors, they counted the rotors
Bb F6/A Gand waited for us to arrive.
F Bb C C7
And we would all go down together,
we said we'd all go down together,
F Bb G F Dm Bbyes, we would all go down together.
G F Dm Bb
