Intro 1
(F major) (D major) (B flat major) (G major)
Verse 1
We met as (D minor) soulmates
On (G major) Parris (C major) Island
We left as (D minor) inmates
From (G major) an asylum (C major)
And we were (E minor) sharp
(A minor) As sharp as (E minor) knives
(A minor) And we were (D minor) so gung ho
to lay down our lives (G major) (F major) (G major)

Verse 2
We came in (D minor) spastic
Like (G major) tameless (C major) horses
We left in (D minor) plastic
As (G major) numbered (C major) corpses
And we learned (E minor) fast
(A minor) To travel (E minor) light
(A minor) Our arms were (D minor) heavy
But our bellies were tight (B flat major)
(G major) (D major) (G major)
Verse 3
We had no (D minor) home front
We (G major) had no (C major) soft soap
They sent us (D minor) Playboy
They (G major) gave us (C major) Bob Hope
We dug in (E minor) deep
(A minor) And shot on (E minor) sight
(A minor) And prayed to (D minor) Jesus Christ
With all of our might (G major) (F major) (G major)
Verse 4
We had no (D minor) cameras
To (G major) shoot the (C major) landscape
We passed the (D minor) hash pipe
And (G major) played our (C major) Doors tapes
And it was dark
(E minor) (A minor) So dark at night
(E minor) (A minor) And we held (D minor) onto each other
Like brother to brother
We (B flat major) promised our mothers (F major) we'd write (G minor)
Chorus 1
And we would (F major) all go (B flat major) down to (C major) gether
We said we'd (F major) all go (B flat major) down
(G major) to (C major) gether
Yes, we would (F major) all go (B flat major) down
(D minor) to (G major) gether
(F major) (D major) (G major)
Verse 5
Remember (D minor) Charlie
Re (G major) member (C major) Baker
They left their (D minor) childhood
On (G major) every (C major) acre
And who was wrong?
(E minor) (A minor) And who was right?
(E minor) (A minor) It didn't (D minor) matter
In the thick of the fight (B flat major) (G major)
Bridge 1
(A minor) We (G major) held the (C major) day
(D major) In the (E major) palm (D minor) of our (E major) hands
(A minor) They (G major) ruled the (C major) nights
(D minor) And the (E major) nights (D minor) seemed to (G major) last
Verse 6
As long as (D minor) six weeks
On (G major) Parris (C major) Island
We held the (D minor) coastline
They (G major) held the (C major) highland
And they were sharp
(E minor) (A minor) As sharp as knives
(E minor) (A minor) They heard the (D minor) hum of the motors
They counted the rotors
And (B flat major) waited for us (F major) to arrive (G minor)
Chorus 2
And we would (F major) all go (B flat major) down to (C major) gether
We said we'd (F major) all go (B flat major) down
(G major) to (C major) gether
Yes, we would (F major) all go (B flat major) down (D minor) to
Outro 1
