Mary Gauthier – Iraq chords

[Intro]
G

[Verse 1]
N.C.              GI was an Army mechanic
                  CI worked with the men
               GI worked on my back
               DI tried to fit in
                    GTorque wrenches and ratchets
                 CMulti-meters and scales
             GGrease on my face
             DGrease on my hands
                GGrease under my nails

[Chorus]
           G7         CAnd it was so hard to see
         GTill it attacked
     D           GMy enemy wasn't Iraq

[Verse 2]
                      GSoldiers bartered and traded
                       CThat's the way our world worked
                    GTrading favors for favors
             DThe sand and the dirt
                GWhat I wouldn't give them
              CThey'd try to take
              G    DAnd when I refused them
             GThey made me pay

[Chorus]
           G7         CAnd it was so hard to see
           GUntil it attacked
     D           GMy enemy wasn't Iraq

[Verse 3]
           GI stood my ground
              CI didn't give in
         GI drew a line
           DAgain and again
                        GWhen they whistled and whispered
                        CWhen the wind kicked up dust
                GI'd look to the sky
             DAsk the Lord why
                GI had no one to trust

[Chorus]
                      CAnd it was so hard to see
           GUntil it attacked
     D           G    G7My enemy wasn't Iraq

[Outro]
               CA salute and a wink
                    GA little pat on the back
     D           G    C   GMy enemy wasn't Iraq
