[Intro] C  F  C  F  C

               C
Oh, lonesome driver
               F
How far we've come?
         C           F        C
Can you tell me the road I am on?

C
I was a soldier
             F
In that old war
            C
They never told me
     F       C   
What I killed for

           C                      F
See that graveyard with all my friends
             C         F     C
When will I see their face again?
C                        F
Go get my lover on the phone
           C            F      C
I do not know when I'm comin' home

              Dm
The light is turnin'
                F
The light is strange
        C
I look behind me
     F          C
But nothing's changed

             Dm
The road is windin'
             F
The river's long
          C
And so I sing
     F         C
The soldier's song

( C  F  C  F  C )

         C
I was a soldier
             F
In that old war
            C
They never told me
        F    C
What I died for

              Dm
The light is turnin'
                F
The light is strange
        C
I look behind me
     F          C
But nothing's changed

             Dm
The road is windin'
             F
The river's long
        C
And we sing
     F         C
The soldier's song

C       F
Ooh-ooh-ooh
C    F   C
Ooh-ooh-ooh
