Key: Ab major•
Verse 1
Ab
Eb
Ab
In a station
in the city
Talking to the people there
Some just stared in hatred,
And the lonely British soldier wished
For there was no fear of fighting,
Just ten years in the army getting
who's made the grade
A medal and a pension,
Then came the call to Ireland as
Another bloody chapter in
The priests they stood on both sides
Another fight in Jesus's name
The station filled with people the sol
the people warred
The room filled up with mothers
Who stared with itchy fingers at
A yell of fear a screech of brakes
The window of the station broke to
A scream came from the mothers as
Dragging children crying from
The soldier stood and could not move
He knew the bomb had seconds and
He could not run to pick it up
There were far too many people there,
Eb
For God's sake save our children or they'll
The soldier moved towards the bomb
Why was this his battle God
He lay down on the package and he mur
To those at home in England
He saw the sights of summer felt the
The young girls in the city parks how pre
The soaring of the swallow the beau
The music of the turning world so
A muffled soft explosion and
The soldier blown across the floor
They never heard him cry or shout
And they turned their children's faces from
Ab
Db
and the ambulances came
Ab
Eb
Ab
To carry off the body of a pawn
lost to the game
