Bm              Em
Our little army boy
   F#m              A
Is coming home from B.F.P.O
Bm                      Em
I've a bunch of purple flowers
   F#m         A
To decorate a mammys hero.

Bm             Em
Mourning in the aerodrome,
    F#m              A
The weather warmer, he is colder.
Bm          Em
Four men in uniform
   F#m            A
To carry home my little soldier.

Chorus:
Bm
What could he do?
E                         D
Should have been a rock star.
              F#m                  Bm
But he didnt have the money for a guitar
Bm
What could he do?
  E                     D
Should have been a politician.
             F#m             Bm
But he never had a proper education.
Bm
What could he do?
   E              D
Should have been a father.
             F#m                  Bm
But he never even made it to his twenties.
  D
What a waste
G       Bm
Army dreamers.
G     D  
Ooh, what a waste of
G      Bm    G
Army dreamers.

Tears o'er a tin box
Oh, Jesus Christ, he wasn't to know
Like a chicken with a fox
He couldn't win the war with ego

Give the kid the pick of pips
And give him all your stripes and ribbons
Now he's sitting in his hole
He might as well have buttons and bows

Chorus

Oh, what a waste of all them army dreamers
Army dreamers, army dreamers


B.F.P.O
Army dreamers
Mammy's hero
B.F.P.O
Army dreamers
Mammy's hero
B.F.P.O
No hard heros
Mammy's hero
B.F.P.O
Army dreamers
Mammy's hero
B.F.P.O
No hard heros
