I play the verses with palm muting, but you can use fingerpicking, strumming or whatever you want!
LAmook at the dying soldier, I heard someone whisper
And Emthen I saw the blood come through my shirt
 AmAm I going to die here? I don't want to die here
EmSomeone come and pick me from the dirt
 GI don't belong here, I don't want to die here, oh Ano
 GI don't belong here, don't let me die here, oh Ano
My hands are getting colder, my thoughts are growing weaker
This must be the way it is
Stop the shooting, don't you see I'm dying
Someone come and say a prayer
I don't belong here, I don't want to die here, oh no
I don't belong here, Don't let me die here, oh no
My eyes are closing, I see someone coming
But he turns his back and runs away
They've stopped shooting, it's started raining
This must be the way
I don't belong here, I dont want to die here, oh no
I don't belong here, Don't let me die here, oh no
I want to go back home where my friends are
I want to go on living there (said the dying soldier)
I want to go back home where my friends are
I want to go on living there (said the dying soldier)
I want to go back home where my friends are
I want to go on living there (said the dying soldier)
Repeat to fade.

I play the verses with palm muting, but you can use fingerpicking, strumming or whatever you want!

Look at the dying soldier, I heard someone whisper

And then I saw the blood come through my shirt

Am I going to die here? I don't want to die here

Someone come and pick me from the dirt

G A

I don't belong here, I don't want to die here, oh no

G A

I don't belong here, don't let me die here, oh no

My hands are getting colder, my thoughts are growing weaker

This must be the way it is

Stop the shooting, don't you see I'm dying

Someone come and say a prayer

I don't belong here, I don't want to die here, oh no

I don't belong here, Don't let me die here, oh no

My eyes are closing, I see someone coming

But he turns his back and runs away

They've stopped shooting, it's started raining

This must be the way

I don't belong here, I dont want to die here, oh no

I don't belong here, Don't let me die here, oh no

I want to go back home where my friends are

I want to go on living there (said the dying soldier)

I want to go back home where my friends are

I want to go on living there (said the dying soldier)

I want to go back home where my friends are

I want to go on living there (said the dying soldier)

Repeat to fade.
