DB7 Hello darling, this is the army,
Em I've just got the time to write,
A Today we attack, there's no turning back,
DGDA The boys they're all ready for the fight,
 
DB7 Yes, I'm well but this place is like hell,
Em They call it Passchendaele,
A In nineteen seventeen the war must be ending,
DGD The General said this attack will not fail,
 
GF# So I'm writing down this simple little melody
BmF#mEm F# When you play it my love, think of me...
EmDADEm We'll be together in this song for you,
ADB7 Em A D G D And it goes La la la...
ADB7 Em A D G D A Sing it darling, La la la...
 
DB7 They got old Bill and the Sergeant is still out there,
Em Wounded in some shellhole,
A They say this war will end all wars,
DGDA Oh God I really hope it will,
DB7 Oh how's old England, are they still singing
Em Those songs that we loved to sing,
A When all this is over, we'll go sailing in Dover,
DGD Catching fish like we used to with a string,
 
GF# Oh I miss you, I miss you, I miss you so!
BmF#mEm F# If they get me my love you will know...
EmDADEm We'll always be together in this song for you...
ADB7 Em A D G D And it goes La la la...
