Graham Parker - Short Memories

Редакция на текст

<pre>(1992 by Graham Parker, submitted by Kirk Anderson) (kanderso@wheatonma.edu)
  D  A
They took their kids in their teenage years
 D G
Fitted them out with combat gear,
 D A   Bm   G
Filled their hearts with mortal fear and sent them away
 D A
Some came home their pants in creases
 D G
Some came home in bits and pieces
 D A  G   D
The president made a lot of speeches and went fishing for the day
 
   D A D   G
'Cause they have short memories, they forget it all so quickly
 D   A Bm G
They have short memories, now it's gone
 D   A   D  G
They have short memories, it disappears just like quicksilver
 D   A   G D
They have short memories, now it's gone
 
My Daddy was in Nicosea, Egypt and North Korea
He came back to a good career, shovelling coal
I was just the village lout I never got my finger out
I never wanted for anything still I broke and entered and stole
 
bridge
 Em
You can't stop a train or catch the rain drops
   D A G
As they come falling
 Em
Sure there'll be another war
   D  A
Sure as sure the call-up will come calling
 
  D  A
They took their kids in their teenage years
 D G
Gave them a God that they could fear
 D A  Bm   G
Said they could kill but not drink beer
 Bm  G
And sent them away
 D A
Some came home in a body bag
 D G
Some came home wrapped in a flags
 D  A   G  D
And on each toe there hung a tag saying there'll be more someday
 
repeat first chorus
  G Em   D
...now it's gone, now it's gone, now it's gone</pre>
