Chords

[Intro]
C              Ebdim
Reaching for a butterfly

Dm7            G
  Old soldiers never die

        C                 Ebdim
And the gun against their shoulder

         Dm7           G
Well, it gets a little older

D
  And just like that older shoulder

   G         G/A     G/B
It just gets put away
[Verse 1]
             Gadd9   G      Gadd9   G
Well, I'm an old, forgotten soldier

           Cadd9    C    Cadd9 C
Since they put an end to war

      Gadd9   G       Gadd9 G
And I like to tell my story

    Cadd9           C              Cadd9 C
But you don't wanna hear about the war

       C7      C7/Bb  C7/A     C7/G
I'm an old, forgotten campaign hero

F                      F/E F/Eb
  Left without a cause

  D7
Because 

     G            Gsus2/A Gm/Bb G/B Gadd9
They took away my wars
[Verse 2]
       Gadd9   G      Gadd9    G
I'm an old, forgotten railroad

  Cadd9           C          Cadd9 C
A broken, lonely, empty ammo-train

       Gadd9 G   Gadd9  G
And my rusty ammunition

         Cadd9   C       Cadd9 C
Has been left out in the rain

       C7      C7/Bb  C7/A      C7/G
I'm an old, forgotten part-time dough boy

F                           F/E F/Eb
  I tried to save the world

D7
  The world was round, We fired around

G           Gsus2/A Gm/Bb G/B G6 G
  Heard all around the world

I'm an old, forgotten campaign hero

F                      F/E F/Eb
  Left without a cause

D7
  Because

     G            G/A G/Bb G/B Gaug
they took away my wars
[Verse 4]
           Gadd9   G      Gadd9    G
But I'm an old, forgotten railroad

    Cadd9 C     Cadd9 C
A deserted ammo-train

       Gadd9 G   Gadd9  G
And my rusty ammunition

         Cadd9   C       Cadd9 C
Has been left out in the rain
