Send "Soldier's Song" Ringtone to Cell 
Bbmaj7 F
I met my enemy today
C Dm
Baby sends the little one out to play
Bbmaj7 F
Enemy shot two of my buddies down
C
Baby rides the little one on the
Dm
merry-go-round
Bbmaj7 F
By my post, I?m standing guard
C Dm
Baby hopes for roses in the front yard
Bbmaj7 F
I don't know my enemy's name
C
Baby takes the little one to a
Dm
baseball game
Bbmaj7 F
Why am I in this God forsaken place?
C
Baby washes the dirt off the
Dm
little one's face
Bbmaj7 F
Ten year olds in the killing fields
C Dm
Baby's planning the weekly meals
Bbmaj7 F
Bodies in a muddy ditch
C Dm
Baby's got supper to fix
Bbmaj7 F
My buddys got a hole in his head
C Dm
Babys getting the little one ready for bed
Bbmaj7 F
Today I shot my enemy
C Dm
Baby gives the little one a hug for me
Bbmaj7 F
Both my buddys legs got blown off
C Dm
Baby tends to the little one's cough
Bbmaj7 F
I stare down the barrel of a gun
C Dm
Babys goin? out to have some fun
Bbmaj7 F
I hear ringing in my ears
C Dm
Babys face is all wet with tears
Bbmaj7 F
I hear echoes of shots
C Dm
Babys only thinking sweet thoughts
Bbmaj7
Why the hell did they send me
F
here to fight?
C
Baby kisses my picture and turns
Dm
off the light
Bbmaj7 F
I can't look my enemy in the eye
C
Baby tells the little one, daddy's
Dm
gone bye-bye
Bbmaj7 F
Today I took a bullet through the heart
C
Baby's gonna have to make a
Dm
brand new start
**Instrumental One or two verses to suit
Bbmaj7 F
I met my enemy today
C Dm
Baby sends the little one out to play
Bbmaj7 F
Enemy shot two of my buddies down
C
Baby rides the little one on the
Dm
merry-go-round
