verse 1:
         G                    Em                          
i wish i was - i wish i was a soldier 
C                      D
  i fight and die for you'
          G                        Em
I wish I was - I wish I was your captain
C                                     D
  I'd guide you through life from my bridge
         G                     Em
I wish I was - I wish I was a poet
C                           D
  beautiful letters I could write
          G                    Em
I wish I was - I wish I was a sailor
C                     D  
  the stories I could tell
    
      
chorus:
        G  Em      C 
no, but I'm - no I'm
                    D
I'm just a fool for you
       G Em           C
but I feel - I feel love
             D
love I never knew

          

verse 2:  

          G                Em
but if I was - if I was a soldier
C                               D
   I'd be the biggest coward of all
          G                 Em
and if I was - if I was a captain
C                         D
   I'd fall asleep on my watch
         G                  Em
and if I was - if I was a poet
C                            D
   I'd probably not dare to show it
          G                 Em
and if I was - if I was a sailor
C                           D
   I'd get drunk in every port 


chorus:


 G  Em      C 
no, but I'm - no I'm
                    D
I'm just a fool for you
       G Em           C
but I feel - I feel love
             D
love I never knew
