Belle And Sebastian — I Fought In A War Chords

same chord progression throughout whole song: Em, Am, C, B

in the first part of the song you just strike the chords once

1st Verse:

Em                          Am
   I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me

      C                             B	
To go looking for the enemy, and it wasnt very long

Em                           Am	
   Before I would stand with another boy in front of me
						
       C                                      B
And a corpse that just fell into me, with the bullets flying round...


1st chorus:

       Em                               Am
And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on

      C                                        B
And I bet youre making shells back home for a steady boy to wear

           Em                                 Am
Round his neck, well it wont hurt to think of you as if youre waiting for

      C                           B
This letter to arrive because Ill be here quite a while


In the second part you may just use any regular strumming
like down,down,up,up,down,up


2nd verse:

Em                          Am
   I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me

       C                             B	
To go looking for the enemy, and it wasnt very long

Em                              Am	
   Before I found out that the sickness there ahead of me

       C                              B		
Went beyond the bedsit infamy of the decade gone before


2nd chorus:	

        Em                              Am	
And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on

      C                                        B 	
And I bet youre making shells back home for a steady man to wear

           Em                                 Am
Round his neck, well it wont hurt to think of you as if youre waiting for

      C                            B		
This letter to arrive because Ill be here quite a while
