[Strophe]
          Dm/F          G7     C 
We met as soul mates on Parris Island, 
   C/E     Dm/F         G7  C 
We left as inmates from an asylum 
            Em    Am           Em     Am 
And we were sharp, as sharp as knives 
            Dm            Dm/C            G/B   F/A  G 
And we were so gung-ho to lay down our lives
[Strophe]
           Dm/F         G7       C 
We came in spastic like tameless horses, 
   C/E     Dm/F       G7       C 
We left in plastic as numbered corpses 
               Em  Am         Em     Am 
And we learned fast to travel light,  
              Dm            Dm/C         Bb 
Our arms were heavy but our bellies were tight

[Strophe]
          Dm/F           G7     C 
We had no home front, we had no soft soap 
     C/E     Dm/F          G7      C 
They sent us Playboy, they gave us Bob Hope 
          Em    Am            Em     Am 
We dug in deep    and shot on sight 
              Dm                Dm/C          G/B Fadd9/A  G 
And prayed to Jesus Christ with all of our might
[Strophe]
          Dm/F       G7        C 
We had no cameras to shoot the landscape 
   C/E        Dm/F          G7         C 
We passed the hash pipe and played our Doors tapes 
           Em  Am           Em     Am 
And it was dark, so dark at night 
            Dm                     Dm/C 
And we held on to each other, like brother to brother, 
   Bb           F/A          Gm 
We promised our mothers we'd write
[Refrain]
C/Bb         F/A    Bb     C       C/Bb 
And we would all go down together, 
             F/A    Bb G7/B C       C/Bb 
We said we'd all go down  together, 
              F/A    Bb Dm/A   [ G7 ] 
Yes, we would all go down    together

[Strophe]
         Dm/F       G7     C 
Remember Charlie, remember Baker, 
     C/E        Dm/F         G7    C 
They left their childhood on every acre 
            Em   Am            Em     Am 
And who was wrong? And who was right? 
          Dm            Dm/C         [ Bb ] 
It didn't matter in the thick of the fight

Am G/B      C   Dm     E    Dm/F   E     E7-9  E  E7 
We held the day in the palm of our hand 
Am   G/B       C     Dm      E     Dm/F      G 
They ruled the night and the night seemed to last as long as 
[Strophe]
Dm/F         G7     C 
Six weeks on Parris Island 
   C/E      Dm/F            G7       C 
We held the coastline, they held the highlands, 
              Em    Am           Em     Am 
And they were sharp, as sharp as knives, 
               Dm                  Dm/C 
They heard the hum of motors, they counted the rotors 
    Bb          F/A    Gm 
And waited for us to arrive
[Refrain]
C/Bb         F/A    Bb     C       C/Bb 
And we would all go down together, 
             F/A    Bb G7/B C       C/Bb 
We said we'd all go down  together, 
              F/A    Bb Dm/A   [ G ] 
Yes, we would all go down    together
