Never Returned - Booze and Glory
[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
AHe dropped outta school when he was 16
He said: E"Mum and Dad I'm gonna be a Royal Marine"
So he Bwent down to the AFCO
and Dsigned his name to the Queen's payroll
ABasic training went by in the breeze
EDidn't break a sweat, he passed it with ease
BA lot dropped out but not our boy
The nDext thing he knows, he is on foreign soil
AShoved to the front with a gun in his hand
The Eboy that went out came back a different man
His Beyes once bright, now seem dull
DWhat he saw, he never Atold
AFor six month at a time he's on the front line
then Eback home again to see his family and friends
But Btime moves quick and he's off again
Dthat's the last time we’ll - see - him
[Chorus]
DDon't know what he Bsaw
He Anever G#said a F#word
Coz the Dboy that went away nEever re-Aturned
[Verse 2]
AHe dropped outta school when he was 16
He said: E"Mum and Dad I'm gonna be a Royal Marine"
So he Bwent down to the AFCO
and Dsigned his name to the Queen's payroll
AWas it worth all the broken hearts?
EFighting wars that ain't even ours?
BBelieve me or not but he did come back
in the Dwooden box drapped in Union Jack...
[Chorus]
DDon't know what he Bsaw
He Anever G#said a F#word
Coz the Dboy that went away nEever re-Aturned

Never Returned - Booze and Glory

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

He dropped outta school when he was 16

He said: "Mum and Dad I'm gonna be a Royal Marine"

So he went down to the AFCO

and signed his name to the Queen's payroll

Basic training went by in the breeze

Didn't break a sweat, he passed it with ease

A lot dropped out but not our boy

The next thing he knows, he is on foreign soil

Shoved to the front with a gun in his hand

The boy that went out came back a different man

His eyes once bright, now seem dull

D A

What he saw, he never told

For six month at a time he's on the front line

then back home again to see his family and friends

But time moves quick and he's off again

that's the last time we’ll - see - him

[Chorus]

D B

Don't know what he saw

A G# F#

He never said a word

D E A

Coz the boy that went away never re-turned

[Verse 2]

He dropped outta school when he was 16

He said: "Mum and Dad I'm gonna be a Royal Marine"

So he went down to the AFCO

and signed his name to the Queen's payroll

Was it worth all the broken hearts?

Fighting wars that ain't even ours?

Believe me or not but he did come back

in the wooden box drapped in Union Jack...

[Chorus]

D B

Don't know what he saw

A G# F#

He never said a word

D E A

Coz the boy that went away never re-turned
