Verse 1:

G C Am D

Here in the trenches the fist of the Beast

G C Am D

For fear of an atmosphere poisened deceased

G C Am D

With a gas mask to keep me-from breathing my death

G C Am D

It's American soil I hope for at best

G C Am D

But the duty I serve can't begin to compare

G C Am D

To my ancestors battles and wars through the years

G C Am D

Though the loneliness strikes like an enemy shell

G C Am D

I pray for my home but still sit here in hell

Chorus:

Am C G

Sail away to a place that's unknown

Am C G

Taken away from my friends and my home

Am C G

To a place they call sacred, a place I call hell

Am C G

I long for that corner I once knew so well

Verse 2:

G C Am D

Go to the grind it's all that I have

G C Am D

Work on and on with nothing to show

G C Am D

But a graying face in this dying place

G C Am D

Thats a lock in my solitude

G C Am D

I think of a place on a faraway coast

G C Am D

Where friends are so dear and there's reason to toast

G C Am D

A cloudy dark image of a Middle East land

G C Am D

Comes down and wrecks my hopeful thoughts

Chorus x1
