Intro:

Am Am F E (x2)

Am                           F          E 
Last night another soldier, last night another child
Am                      F               E
No one seems to worry, no one sees his mother cry

F F G G

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

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

Am                           F          E 
Last night another soldier, last night another child
Am                      F               E       
No one seems to worry, no one sees his mother cry

C                              F          G
They're just facts and figures on your TV screen
C                                  F            G
Another child and another soldier, is peace just a dream

F F G G

Am                                  F              E  
In the country strange and foreign all the people resent him
Am                                F                 E
He can't cope with his problems, all the fears and hatred

E           F             G
Now he wish he never went he wish he never thought of it
E                   F                G 
It's not the same as fighting armies looking for the terrorists

C                              F          G
They're just facts and figures on your TV screen
C                                  F            G
Another child and another soldier, is peace just a dream

F F G G

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

C                              F          G
They're just facts and figures on your TV screen
C                                  F            G
Another child and another soldier, is peace just a dream

Am                          F          E
Last night another soldier, last night another child
Am                           F              E
Just a number in the papers, another one of the innocent

C                              F          G
They're just facts and figures on your TV screen
C                                  F            G
Another child and another soldier, is peace just a dream

Am
Last night another soldier
