Stiff Little Fingers Wasted Life

Tom: A Intro: This intro. riff can be played for as many bars as you like. Verse 1 ------- A I could be a soldier G Go out there and fight to save this land A Be a people's soldier G Paramilitary gun in hand A I won't be a soldier G I won't take no orders from no-one A Stuff their fuckin' armies G Killing isn't my idea of fun Chorus ------ E A And they wanna waste my life E A They wanna waste my time E A They wanna waste my life G D A And they've stolen it away Verse 2 ------- A I could be a hero G Live and die for their important cause A A united nation G Or an independent state with laws A And rules and regulations G That merely cause disturbances and wars A And that's what I have got now G All thanks to the freedom seeking hoardes {Repeat chorus} Bridge ------ Gb E I'm not gonna be taken in Gb E They said if I don't join I just can't win Gb E I've heard that story many times before Gb Ab And every time I've thrown it out the door Solo ---- Db D Eb E A D Eb E A D Eb E A G D A Verse 3 ------- A Still they come up to me G With a different name and same old face A I can see the connection G With another time and another place A No they ain't blond-haired or blue-eyed G But they think that they're the master race A They're nothing but blind fascists G Brought up to hate and given lives to waste {repeat chorus twice} Worked out by (i.e. not necessarily 100% correct but as near as I can get it) Gordon Johnston "A Scotsman in Germany"
