Tom : D
D G D G
[Verse 1]
D
They gave me a green uniform
A D
And black boots for my feet
G D
18 and wild as hell
Bm G
I thought it would be neat
They put me on a plane
D G
To some strange foreign land
D
I said goodbye to Mom and Dad
A G
And hello to Uncle Sam
[Chorus]
D G
Once I was a soldier
Not afraid to die
D
But now I'm a little older
G
And not afraid to cry
Every day I'm thankful
A
Just to be alive
Bm
When you've been where I've been
[Próxima Parte]
G A
Any kind of life
D G
Is paradise
[Verse 2]
D
Christmas of '89
A D
Was a lonely time for me
G D
Panama was prob'ly fine
Bm G
But it was nothin' like Tennessee
Never thought the day would come
D G
When I might have to kill a man
D
I did not sleep a wink that night
A G
But we won for Uncle Sam
[Chorus]
D G
Once I was a soldier
[Próxima Parte]
G A
Any kind of life
D G
Is paradise
[Instrumental]

[Outro]

Any kind of life

Is paradise

It's paradise
