I have people to free, they're depending on me

     Am
So I can't afford to die

Get 'em safely back, then I won't stay too long

I'll be leaving soon for London

So I'll look this war straight in the eye

Only thirty days, so I can't afford to die
[Verse 2]
       C7
When I think of the dead, that go round in my head

      Am
No, I can't afford to die

       C7                                       Am
So the thing to do is pretend that they weren't there

        C            D
With my baby at home waiting

I can give myself a little sigh

Only thirty days, so I can't afford to die

God ain't taking my hand, not to no promised land

     Am
So I can't afford to die

So I'll cease my command before another bomb

     C             D
If I see my home a free man

       G                  Dm
I'll remember why I never cried

     C                 Cm              Dm     G
Only thirty days, so I can't afford to die
[Outro] C7 Am C7 Am C7 Am C7 Am
