Tabbed by Josh Whittaker's brother Tuning: Half-Step Down Capo: None -------------------------------------------------------------------------- D G I was born on a railroad track D A With the weight of the world strapped to my back D G D A Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy D G Looking for a life in a graveyard town D A If you never get lost, you never get found D G D A Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy D G D A Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy D G D A I fell in love with an impossible girl She was my breath in this strangled world Born to be a soldier boy, born to be soldier boy She broke my heart with my best friend's name Now my mind still works, but it's not the same Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy We go... {I don't feel like writing out all the onomatopoeias he uses} So many people wanna watch things grow Either they're blind or they just don't know Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy My Daddy was done before he turned nineteen My Momma was run like a fast machine Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy So I cross my heart and I hope to die Like an aeroplane, baby, coming out of the sky Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy We go... {onomatopoeias} (End song on D)
