      Em
Well Mother, what the war did 

to my legs and to my tongue,
               Em
You should've raised a baby girl,
            B
I should've been a better son.
              A           B
If you could coddle the infection
          G           Em
They can amputate at once.
                  Em
You should've been,
              B             Em
I could have been a better son.
 
D                      C
And when we go don't blame us, yeah.
D                            G
 We'll let the fires just bathe us, yeah.
C                     F
 You made us, oh, so famous.
B                  Em   D/F# G
We'll never let you go-ooh-ooh.
 
 
[Chorus]
                        C
She said: "You ain't no son of mine
D                             G           C
  For what you've done they're gonna find
 
A place for you
    F                  B                Em   D   G
And just you mind your manners when you go.
                         Em      G      Em
And when you go, don't return to me, my love."
 
That's right.

[Interlude]
 
  Em
And if you would call me your sweetheart,
                           B
I'd maybe then sing you a song
         A               B              G
But the shit that I've done with this fuck of a gun,
Em                     Bb5         B
You would cry out your eyes all along.
 
Em
We're damned after all.
                         B
Through fortune and flame we fall.
A              B                  G          Em
And if you can stay then I'll show you the way,
    B               Bb5        B
To return from the ashes you call.
 
Em
We all carry on
A                              B
When our brothers in arms are gone
  A                  B
So raise your glass high
        G        Em
For tomorrow we die,
Em                 B            Em
And return from the ashes you call!
