A5 A5 F5 E5 (x2)

A5                           F5          E5 
Last night another soldier, last night another child
A5                      F5               E5
No one seems to worry, no one sees his mother cry

F5 F5 G5 G5

A5
Can you see that smart, clean soldier,
F5                     E5
Standing straight and oh so proud
A5                             
He wants to fight for Queen and country
F5                    E5 
He wants to make his family proud

A#5                     D#5             F5
A job with the future, his way to get out of it
A#5                         D#5           F5
It's his sense of romance, it never ends that way

A5                           F5          E5 
Last night another soldier, last night another child
A5                      F5               E5       
No one seems to worry, no one sees his mother cry

C5                              F5          G5
They're just facts and figures on your TV screen
C5                                  F5            G5
Another child and another soldier, is peace just a dream

F5 F5 G5 G5

A5                                  F5              E5  
In the country strange and foreign all the people resent him
A5                                F5                 E5
He can't cope with his problems, all the fears and hatred

E5           F5             G5
Now he wish he never went he wish he never thought of it
E5                   F5                G5 
It's not the same as fighting armies looking for the terrorists

C5                              F5          G5
They're just facts and figures on your TV screen
C5                                  F5            G5
Another child and another soldier, is peace just a dream

F5 F5 G5 G5

A5                                F5                  E5
Can you hear the mocking laughter from the ones that gain by it
A5                                   F5                    E5             
They're not in line for the bullets, they're the ones who started it

C5                              F5          G5
They're just facts and figures on your TV screen
C5                                  F5            G5
Another child and another soldier, is peace just a dream

A5                          F5          E5
Last night another soldier, last night another child
A5                           F5              E5
Just a number in the papers, another one of the innocent

C5                              F5          G5
They're just facts and figures on your TV screen
C5                                  F5            G5
Another child and another soldier, is peace just a dream

A5
Last night another soldier
