There was a typo in the last post. The F's should be E's.
Thanks to Akira Nakahara for mentioning that.
Here the corrected Version
Children's Crusade (Sting, The Dream of the Blue Turtles)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
F#mBmGAE
Young men and soldiers, nineteen fourteen.
BmGAC
Marching through countries they'd never seen
BmGAE
Virgins with rifles, a game of charades
CBm7AC
All for a children's crusade
(same chords)
Pawns in the game are not victims of chance
Strewn on the fields of Belgium and France
Poppies for young men, death's bitter trade
CBm7A
All of those young lives betrayed
Chorus:
CGCG
The children of England would never be slaves
CBmEmBb13
They're trapped on the wire and dying in waves
CGCG
The Flower of England face down in the mud
CBmEmBb13
And stained in the blood of a whole generation
(chords like verse 1)
Corpulent generals safe behind lines
History's lessons drowned in red wine
Poppies for young men, death's bitter trade
All of those young lives betrayed
CBm7Em
All for a children's crusade
During solo: Em Bm7
Repeat Chorus
(chords like verse 3)
Midnight in Soho nineteen eighty-four
Fixing in door ways, opium slaves
Poppies for young men, death's bitter trade
All of those young lives betrayed
All for a children's crusade.
Bb13=6x678x, could be Ebmaj7/Bb=x11333 as well.
