G Over the mountains Am And over the seas C G By Hurcules transporter G D To fight the Afghani C G With a rifle in my hand Am Em To set the country free G Am Its your picture in my pocket D G That means everything to me G So I fixed up the alarm Am And broken half way in C G When a security guard appears G D And busts me on the chin C G He kicks me round and says Am Em Do you know the shit youre in G Am I said I was on me arse mate D G Meant no offence to him G Over the mountains Am And over the seas C G By Hurcules transporter G D To fight the Afghani C G With a rifle in my hand Am Em To set the country free G Am Its your picture in my pocket D G That means everything to me G I know Ive let you down babe Am Trying to make ends meat C G When I met this recruiting sergeant G D By the courthouse on the street C G He said youre a disgrace boy Am Em And thats youre fucking crime G Am Then somebody got the drinks in D G And I signed on the dotted line G Over the mountains Am And over the seas C G By Hurcules transporter G D To fight the Afghani C G With a rifle in my hand Am Em To set the country free G Am Its your picture in my pocket D G That means everything to me G Now Im sucking dust in Helmand Am Dug into Lashkar Gar C G Where the local weed and opium G D Beats any British bar C G I know as we lay there dreaming Am Em Im still in the pay of thieves G Am And Im rushing back to be with you D G Upon this desert breeze G Over the mountains Am And over the seas C G By Hurcules transporter G D To fight the Afghani C G With a rifle in my hand Am Em To set the country free G Am Its your picture in my pocket D G That means everything to me

G Dont follow me to die boys Am In bloody Kandahar C G With the eerie glow of tracers G D Lighting every wretched scar C G And say a prayer for me Am Em And cry each year this day G Am So if you see a recruiting sergeant boys D G Run, run away G Over the mountains Am And over the seas C G By Hurcules transporter G D To fight the Afghani C G With a rifle in my hand Am Em To set the country free G Am Its your picture in my pocket D G That means everything to me G Over the mountains Am And over the seas C G By Hurcules transporter G D To fight the Afghani C G With a rifle in my hand Am Em To set the country free G Am Its your picture in my pocket D G That means everything to me G Am Its your picture in my pocket D G That means everything to me
