Вступление
[Intro]
D G D A D
[Verse]
D G D
He was a ragged boy when at his father's knee;
G A
Became an orphan like a fledgling from a tree
D G D
And at the barrack fence he found his only thrill;
G D
The sights and sounds of the parade ground
A D
And the soldiers and their drill.
[Chorus]
G A G A
And the band played on and the soldiers marched along
G A D
And they sang the Sweet Banana Song
G A D G
Nobody was there, to share, to turn to and to say:
D A D
"I'm gonna be a soldier too one day..."
[Verse]
D G D
He was a ragged youth, he worked the fields of grain:
G A
A simple man of peace in sun and wind and rain
D G D
And they came in the dead of night as only jackals can
G D
And they killed his woman and child
A D
And the white haired old man.
[Chorus]
G A G A
And life goes on and the soldiers marched along
G A D
And they sang the Sweet Banana song.
G A D G
Nobody was there, to hear, his oath of sweet revenge
D A D
And the deaths he swore one day he would avenge.
[Solo]
D G D A D
[Verse]
D G D
Far from the ragged boy the soldier that he made;
G A
No one to see him at the passing- out- parade
D G D
One day, an ambush and a bullet tears his chest
G D A D
And dying as he fires four jackals meet their death
[Outro]
G A G A
And the war raged on and the soldiers marched along
G A D
And they sang the Sweet Banana song.
G A D G
Nobody was there, to care, to be there by his side,
D A D
Nobody was there when the ragged soldier died.
G A D
Nobody was there, Nobody was there
D D
Nobody was there, nobody was there...
