~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From the album: The Dream
of the Blue Turtles Hi! My second time posting a Sting song. If anyone wants me to try
to figure out anymore from Sting just holler!
Bm: 224432 G:320033 A: 002220
E: 022100 C:x32010
Intro: In Bm position pluck the three top strings.
Verse 1:
Bm Bm E E
Young men and soldiers, nineteen fourteen.
Bm Bm E E
Marching through countries they'd never seen
Bm Bm E E
Virgins with rifles, a game of charades
C Bm A
All for a children's crusade
Verse 2: Follow same format as verse 1
Pawns in the game are not victims of chance
Strewn on the fields of Belgium and France
Poppies for young men, death's bitter trade
All of those young lives betrayed
Chorus:
C G C G
The children of England would never be slaves
C Bm G
They're trapped on the wire and dying in waves
C G C G
The Flower of England face down in the mud
C Bm G
And stained in the blood of a whole generation
Verse 3: follow same format as verse 1
Corpulent generals safe behind lines
History's lessons drowned in red wine
Poppies for young men, death's bitter trade
All of those young lives betrayed

All for a children's crusade.
