[Intro] (see above)
| F | Dm | Bbmaj7 | G |
Verse 1
We met as soul mates on Parris Island,
We left as inmates from an asylum
And we were sharp, as sharp as knives
And we were so gung-ho to lay down our lives
Verse 2
We came in spastic like tameless horses,
We left in plastic as numbered corpses
And we learned fast to travel light,
Our arms were heavy but our bellies were tight
[Interlude 2] (see above)
| Bb | G | D | G7 |
Verse 3
We had no home front, we had no soft soap
They sent us Playboy, they gave us Bob Hope
We dug in deep and shot on sight
And prayed to Jesus Christ with all of our might
Verse 4
(+ bridge)
We had no cameras to shoot the landscape
We passed the hash pipe and played our Doors tapes
And it was dark, so dark at night
And we held on to each other, like brother to brother,
We promised our mothers we'd write
Chorus
And we would all go down together,
We said we'd all go down together,
F/A Bb Dm/A [ G7 ]
Yes, we would all go down together
[Interlude 3] (see above)
| G | F | Dm | G7 |
Verse 5
Remember Charlie, remember Baker,
They left their childhood on every acre
And who was wrong? And who was right?
Dm Dm/C [ Bb ]
It didn't matter in the thick of the fight
[Interlude 4] (see above)
| Bb | G |
Middle 8
We held the day in the palm of our hand
They ruled the night and the night seemed to last as long as
Verse 6
(+ bridge)
Six weeks on Parris Island
We held the coastline, they held the highlands,
And they were sharp, as sharp as knives,
They heard the hum of motors, they counted the rotors
And waited for us to arrive
Chorus
And we would all go down together,
We said we'd all go down together,
F/A Bb Dm/A [ G ]
Yes, we would all go down together
[Interlude 5] (see above)
| G | F |
[Outro] (see above)
| Dm | Bb | G | F |
