Joseph Arthur – (I Donated Myself to the) Mexican Army
Standard, no Capo
Intro: Am  
I Amdonated myself to the mexican  Dmarmy
We were Amten thousand guns shooting into the  Dmnight
Turning Amscreams into sand and sand into  Dmblood
And Ammurdering darkness with fire and  Dmlight
 CI don't Gknow where we're Cgoing from Ghere
CI'm just Gfollowing Amorders
 CI don't Gknow how we'll Cconquer the Gking
CThis ain't Gmy revoAmlution
AmOut in the field there's no such thing as  Dmmercy
We Ambloom through the night into flowers of  Dmdeath
"I Amdon't believe anything that I'vDme  said"
Jesus AmChrist was heard saying under hiDms  breath
 CI don't Gknow where we're Cgoing from Ghere
CI'm just Gfollowing Amorders
 CI don't Gknow how we'll Cconquer the Gking
CThis ain't Gmy revoAmlution
I Amdonated myself to the mexican  Dmarmy
I Amgave all my love to a Mexican  Dmwhore
I Amgave her my dreams and I gave her mDmy money
I Amburied my family   under her Dmfloor
 CI don't Gknow where we're Cgoing from Ghere
CI'm just Gfollowing Amorders
 CI don't Gknow how we'll Cconquer the Gking
CThis ain't Gmy revoAmlution
