Verse 1:
It was written that I would love you
From the moment I opened my eyes
And the morning when I first saw you
Gave me life under Calico skies.

Chorus:
D (xx0232@1)    GI (320003@1)will hold you

A (x02220@1)                  Bm (x24432@1) For as long as you like

GI'll (320003@1)hold you

Verse 2:
Always looking for ways to love you
Never failing to fight at your side
While the angels of love protect us
From the innermost secrets we hide

[Chorus]

Verse 3:
Long live all of us, crazy soldiers
Who were born under Calico skies
May we never be called to handle
All the weapons of war we despise

[Chorus]
