Young men and soldiers, nineteen fourteen.
Marching through countries they'd never seen
Bm G A EVirgins with rifles, a game of charades
C Bm7 A C A CAll for a children's crusade
[same chords]
Pawns in the game are not victims of chance
Strewn on the fields of Belgium and France
Poppies for young men, death's bitter trade
C Bm7 AAll of those young lives betrayed
Chorus
The children of England would never be slaves
C Bm Em Bb13They're trapped on the wire and dying in waves
C G C GThe Flower of England face down in the mud
And stained in the blood of a whole generation
[chords like verse 1]
Corpulent generals safe behind lines
History's lessons drowned in red wine
Poppies for young men, death's bitter trade
All of those young lives betrayed
C Bm7 EmAll for a children's crusade
During solo: Em Bm7
Repeat Chorus
[chords like verse 3]
Midnight in Soho nineteen eighty-four
Fixing in door ways, opium slaves
Poppies for young men, death's bitter trade
All of those young lives betrayed
All for a children's crusade.
Bb13=6x678x, could be Ebmaj7/Bb=x11333 as well.
