Levellers – Another Mans Cause (Guitar)

    Am
    Gunshots shatter in the peace of night

         G
    It's just another firefight

            F                     G
    For the people of this little town

        Am
    But for the dying soldier

              G
    Well he's feeling ten years older

            F                      G
    As he's lying face down on the ground

    Am
    All the words that are in his head

        G
    And all the words that his mother said

       F                             G
    As she would put him to bed back home

    C                  G           Am
    Your Daddy when he died in the Falklands

    C        G    Am
    Fighting for another man's cause

             C              G             Am
    And your brother he was killed in the last war

             C                  G          Am
    And your mother, well she's lying home alone

    Am
    Everyday she sees your face

           G
    On the picture on the fireplace

              F                         G
    With your brother as he was leaving school

           Am
    Then a day came five years ago

             G
    You said "Mother, I need to know"

            F                                    G
    And you spoke the words your brother spoke before

    Am
    "I know the things my Daddy done

             G
    And I've seen the medals that he's won

          F                               G      G   Am
    And I know this is what he would have wanted for me

           C            G           Am
    Your Daddy when he died in the Falklands

    C        G    Am
    Fighting for another man's cause

             C              G             Am
    And your brother he was killed in the last war

             C                  G          Am
    And your mother, well she's lying home alone

    F       G             Am  G
    Now she wonders at it all

    F             G              Am                G
    Just in whose name, do these brave young heros fall

        F        G              Am          G
    And how many more are gonna answer that call

                  F         G       Am               G
    They're gonna fight and die in another country's war

                  F           G               Am          G
    They're gonna die for a religion didn't believe in at all

                  F        G                 Am
    They're gonna die in a place they should never been at all

        Am
    Oh, never been at all

      C                  G           Am
    Your Daddy when he died in the Falklands

    C        G    Am
    Fighting for another man's cause

    And your brother he was killed in the last war

             C                  G          Am
    And your mother, well she's lying home alone

     C                  G           Am
    Your Daddy when he died in the Falklands

    C        G    Am
