Child Soldiers Chords by Suzanne Becking

[Intro]

Am  F  Am  F
Dm  E  E7
 
 
[Verse]

    Am               
The rebels found you,  
              F
you wanted to run,
    Am                 
You promised a good life,
            F
 decided to take the gun.
G                           
Walking for miles and miles, 
    C
all day and all night,
G                           
Struggling to survive, with 
C
strangers by your side.
Am                 
Forced into combat, 
                 F
saw many friends die,
Am                   
Now you realize, it's 
        F
all one big lie.

[Verse]

    Am                
The rebels fooled you, 
                F
you need to get out,
   Am                    
In war there's no winners, 
              F
you're better off without.
G                           
Walking for miles and miles,   
    C
all day and all night,
G                  
Find a safer place, 
      C
where you can be all right.
Am                    
People don't want you, 
             F
there are no jobs,
Am                           
Got to live in the streets, 
              F
the nightmare never stops.

Dm  E
 
 
[Verse]

    Am                          F
The rebels took your innocence away,
    Am                  
The right to be a child, 
             F
to learn, to love, to play.
G                      
Once you lived to fight, 
        C
now you fight to live,
       G             
You'll have to forget, 
       C
you'll have to forgive.
Am                                  
You have to show them, you can work 
           F
with those hands,
       Am                 
'Cause everybody deserves 
  F
a second chance.
