Verse 1
(G major) (A minor) A (D major) Digger (G major) (D major) (E minor) (G major) (A minor) (D major) (G major)
A digger stands at the (A minor) end of the street
His rifle up (D major) side down (G major)
He died when a woman
could walk (A minor) alone
Anywhere (D major) in town (G major)
If she's not safe in years (A minor) of peace
Why did he (D major) go to war? (G major)
What was the purpose?
(A minor) What was the glory?
What was he fight (D major) ing for?
(G major) Yes, sometimes this world
worries (A minor) me,
Sometimes it (D major) makes me cry. (G major)
Then one day more is (A minor) one day closer
To the (D major) day I die. (G major)
And I think I'll leave it all (A minor) behind,
I've had enough (D major) to say. (G major)
Go back to nature, (D major) (A minor) live in the forest,
before they (D major) take it away. (G major) (A minor) (D major) (G major)
Now I'm no pauper,
I don't (A minor) believe,
I've known a (D major) poor man's (G major) day.
But I'm still hungry to (D major) (A minor) know
the reason why I (D major) came this way (G major)
Was it to learn that I (A minor) can't buy
the peace I (D major) used to (G major) know
When I was just a (A minor) little boy,
forty years (D major) ago (G major) (A minor) (D major)
(G major) (D major) (E minor) (G major) (A minor) (D major) (G major)
But if I can learn from fool (A minor) ish ways
Then I must (D major) surely grow
(G major) The light within is wait (A minor) ing
for the (D major) chance to glow
(G major) And I will keep on search (A minor) ing
until the (D major) day I know (G major)
The peace I knew as a (A minor) little boy
forty years (D major) ago
