Jamie Was A Friend Of Mine

Who Used To Live Next Door

We We’re Young And The World Was Just For Fun

We Only Wanted To Play Soldiers

And Did Not Ask For More

That He Had A Son To Go

The Next Few Months We Spent Our Time

      Am7
Just Trying To Find A Way

To Live 10 Years Of Friendship Over Again

G
The Time Finally Came And Brought The Train

     Am7
That Took Jamie Away

          C               D             G
And From That Day Forth I Can’t No More Pretend

For That Was The Last I Ever Saw My Friend

Did He Die For Pride Or Freedom

       Am7
Well I Never Really Knew

           C            D            G
Or After Jamie Left His Family Moved Away

But I Always Wanted To Ask Them Why
