Bill Fay – Gentle Willie chords

G            BmWillie was a sailor
   C             DHe sailed on the sea
    G             BmAnd Willie said a sailor's life
       C        DIs the life for me

         Em            AmBut they sent him into battle
       Em           AmFor to lay down his life
    D             Bm          And Willie said a sailor's life
           C       DIs not for me

So Willie joined the air force
He learnt how to fly
And Willie said how happy
He was flying in the sky

But they sent him into battle
For to lay down his life
And Willie said the air force is no life for me

Now Willie got to thinking
People were plotting for his life
So he bought himself a watchtower
And locked himself inside

But the tower looked o'er a battlefield
Where men laid down their lives
And Willie had to laugh but then he cried

Enjoy :)
