, , , , , ,  (* = a little time longer as usual^^(I think it's

Gotta  get out,  gotta shout,  gotta sing
 Gotta dance,  gotta jump,  gotta run
Think  I'll fight a war,  I don't know  what for
 But I'll learn  when I get  my gun
 Well I  left home  three days  ago
 I feel  like going  to bed
Open  the courts  and a new  religion
Burning through  my head
Burning through  my head
 Made my way with the fusiliers
 I even fought my way back home
 But the front line shifted and my rifle got lifted
 Had to fight the war on my own
 Well I left home three days ago
 I feel like going to bed
 Water downtown gave me cold, cold fingers
 And my feet were made of lead
 My feet were made of lead
I'll  just eat fruit  on your doorstep
I'll  just drink pailfulls  of rain
I'm  but a barnacled warship
Singing  the fighter's refrain
Singing  the fighter's
Made  my way  with the Salvation Army
 Take them on  with a tambourine
I'll  strike down sinners  like the old  gunslingers
Smooth  'em out  like margerine
 Well I left home three days ago
 I feel like going to bed
 Open the courts and a new religion
 Burning through my head
 Burning through my head
 Went to the gambling shop today
 They had me five to one
 Heard a voice behind me say
 Put down the Bible and pick up your gun
 Well I left home three days ago
 I feel like going to bed
 Water downtown gave me cold, cold fingers
 And my feet were made of lead
 My feet were made of lead
 I'll just eat fruit on your doorstep
 I'll just drink pailfulls of rain
 I'm but a barnacled warship
 Singing the fighter's refrain
 Singing the fighter's
