For best effect, transpose two steps up and get that dramatic low E minor.

G
  Here I am
         Dm
  In the desert again
    Am
  A compass and a weapon
    F
  A lost American

G
  I started out with a simple plan
        Dm
  And a locket in my hand
          Am
  But the sun is so unforgiving
          F
  And the wind so hard to stand

G
  Fall out, fall out
           Dm
  With the rest of your brothers
           Am
  With the rest of your sisters
  F
  Heroes on the line

G
  Carry out what your leader says
           Dm
  For what his leader says
          Am
  Is that his leader says
          F
  This is right for the people

  Dm                 G
  No one will ever understand why
               Dm                      F
  Thousands of beautiful healthy young statues must fall
C                      Dm
  Smoke and explosions surround me
                      Am
  A flood of hate, it drowns me
                     F
  I cannot live this way, no I cannot live with
  C
  Doubt and confusion
       Dm
  They find me
                    Am
  They run up right behind me
                    F
  I cannot die this way. 
                         C    Dm  Am  F   
  No, I cannot die this way

  In the water, in the sand
  Is the blood of a culture
  Is the blood of an ancient people
  In whose holy war I stand

  I hear the world like a cannon roar
  Say I can win this war
  I promise them this
  Isn’t what I signed up for

|: No one will ever understand what
   Thousands of beautiful healthy young statues must fall
   Smoke and explosions surround me
   A flood of hate, it drowns me
   I cannot live this way, mo I cannot live
   With doubt and confusion
   They find me
   They run up right behind me
   I cannot die this way
   No, I cannot die this way :| x2
