Tom : Am
D A C
It's evening in the desert
D A C
I'm tired and I'm cold
D A C
But I am just a soldier
D A C
I do what I am told
Chorus
D A# G
We came with the crusaders
G D A#
To save the holy land
G D A#
It's Christmas in Fallujah
G D A#
And no one gives a damn
G A F
And I just got your letter
D D
And this is what I read you said
D A F
I'm fading from your memory
D A F
So I'm just as good as dead
Chorus
D A# G
We are the armies of the empire
G D A#
We are the legionnaires of Rome
G D A#
It's Christmas in Fallujah
G D A#
And we ain't never coming home
Em G7 D
We came to bring these people freedom
E F#m G7
We came to fight the infidel
Em G7 D
There is no justice in the desert
E F#m G7
Because there is no God in hell
A F
They say Osama's in the mountains
D A F
Deep in a cave near Pakistan
D A F
But there's a sea of blood in Baghdad
D A F
A sea of oil in the sand
Chorus
D A# G
Between the Tigris and Euphrates
D A#
Another day comes to an end
G D A#
It's Christmas in Fallujah
G D A#
Piece on Earth goodwill to men

It's Christmas in Fallujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
It's Christmas in Fallujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Marry Christmas from Fallujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah [5x]
