1st Verse:

The picking patterns are quite hard to tab but I'll try my best,
the notes are all here you may have to mess around with them a bit tough.

"I'd like to be a soldier of war..."

Do this bit twice then the verse again...

Chorus:

I'll call this the chorus... The last part of the chorus can just be
played as 8 on the bottom string but I've tabbed a little variation that can be heard.


"Now the stars don't shine and the birds don't sing anymore... It's not the same..."
