Verse 1:
G           C            Am          D
Here in the trenches the fist of the Beast 
    G          C          Am         D
For fear of an atmosphere poisened deceased 
       G           C            Am           D
With a gas mask to keep me-from breathing my death 
      G       C      Am          D
It's American soil I hope for at best 
        G      C             Am        D
But the duty I serve can't begin to compare 
      G         C          Am                D   
To my ancestors battles and wars through the years 
           G           C              Am    D          
Though the loneliness strikes like an enemy shell 
  G           C              Am          D
I pray for my home but still sit here in hell

Chorus:
Am             C              G
Sail away to a place that's unknown 
Am                 C              G
Taken away from my friends and my home 
     Am                        C            G
To a place they call sacred, a place I call hell 
  Am                     C            G
I long for that corner I once knew so well

Verse 2:
G         C          Am         D
Go to the grind it's all that I have 
G           C       Am         D
Work on and on with nothing to show 
      G       C            Am    D
But a graying face in this dying place 
        G          C   Am    D
Thats a lock in my solitude 
  G          C          Am      D
I think of a place on a faraway coast 
      G              C               Am        D
Where friends are so dear and there's reason to toast 
  G           C          Am          D
A cloudy dark image of a Middle East land 
      G        C         Am      D
Comes down and wrecks my hopeful thoughts

Chorus x1
