G                             C                                D               G

O boys, what will we do now the war is over?

All the doors are closed theres no place to go

For an old soldier

G                             C                                D               G

Come, come, give the devil his due, he could tell a lie

But he can’t take away what the Lord gave you and I

Gin from the junipers

Whisky from the rye

Beer from the barley

And the blood of the vine

G              Bmin7                    C

The blind wind blows a lullaby

We dont need no holy water

G                             C                                D               G

We are made of broken things, but we will rise again

A crown’s a yoke

Gimme a drink and a smoke

And some tales of the auld campaigns

Whisky from the rye

Beer from the barley

And the blood of the vine

The blind wind blows a lullaby

We don’t need no holy water

We stand against the Gods

We will be free

Sing, sing,

C

God save the King!

D

We shall have our victory…

Lyrics

O boys, what will we do now the war is over?
All the doors are closed theres no place to go
For an old soldier
Come, come, give the devil his due, he could tell a lie
But he can’t take away what the Lord gave you and I

Gin from the junipers
Whisky from the rye
Beer from the barley
And the blood of the vine
The blind wind blows a lullaby
We don’t need no holy water

We are made of broken things, but we will rise again
A crown’s a yoke
Gimme a drink and a smoke
And some tales of the old campaigns

Gin from the junipers
Whisky from the rye
Beer from the barley
And the blood of the vine
The blind wind blows a lullaby
We don’t need no holy water

We stand against the Gods
We will be free
Sing, sing, ?God save the King!
We shall have our victory…

O boys, where have you gone?
When I find ya , I’ll shoot ya..
Cowards
Thieves
Mercinaries
VIVA LA LUCA!

Gin from the junipers
Whisky from the rye
Beer from the barley
And the blood of the vine
The blind wind blows a lullaby
We dont need no holy water
