1916 Motörhead akordy

^A16 years old when I ^Ewent the war,

^DTo fight for a land fit f^Aor heroes,

^AGod on my side, and a^E gun in my hand,

^DChasing my days down to ^Azero,

^AAnd I marched and I fought and I^E bled and I died,

^DAnd I never did ge^At any older,

^ABut I knew at the time that a ^Eyear in the line,

^AWe all volunteered, and we^E wrote down our names,

^DAnd we added two years^A to our ages,

^AEager for life and a^Ehead of the game,

^DReady for history's ^Apages,

^AAnd we brawled and we fought and we ^Ewhored 'til we stood,

^DTen thousand shoulder to sho^Aulder,

^AA thirst for the Hun, we were fo^Eod for the gun,

^AI heard my friend cry, and he ^Esank to his knees,

^DCoughing blood as he screame^Ad for his mother,

^AAnd I fell by his side, a^End that's how we died,

^DClinging like kids to each o^Ather,

^AAnd I lay in the mud an^Ed the guts and the blood,

^DAnd I wept as his body ^Agrew colder,

^AAnd I called for my mothe^Er and she never came,

^GThough it wasn't my fa^Dult and I wasn't to blame,

^AThe day not half over^E and ten thousand slain,

^GAnd now there's nobod^Dy remembers our names,

^DAnd that's how it is for a s^Aoldier.
