Soldiers Eyes by Jack Savoretti
Soldiers Eyes
Capo on 4th
[Verse 1]
Am C
Lately I've been wondering what's been going on
G Am
I've been here before but I don't remember when
Am C
And every time we get to where we're entering
G Am
I feel my beliefs and hopes surrendering
[Chorus]
Em (G) Am
But I know I'll be coming home soon
And yes
Em (G) Am
I know that I'll be coming home soon
[Verse 2]
Am C
'Cause like the enemies that we are battling
G Am
I am nothing but a human alien
Am C
Left with nothing else but to keep wandering
G Am
Down this path whilst stopping my hands trembling
[Chorus]
Em (G) Am
But I know I'll be coming home soon
And yes
Em (G) Am Em
I know that I'll be coming home soon with a soldier's eyes
Am
With a soldier's eyes
Em
With a soldier's eyes
Am
With a soldier's eyes
[Verse 3]
Am C
I've seen inside the devil's dreams where young men die
G Am
And graveyards open up their arms for mothers left to cry
Am C
I have seen the bleeding and I hate what we've done
G Am
But just like every other fool I'll keep marching on
[Chorus]
Em (G) Am
But I know I'll be coming home soon
And yes
Em (G) Am Em
I know that I'll be coming home soon with a soldier's eyes
Am
With a soldier's eyes
Em
With a soldier's eyes
Am
With a soldier's eyes

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Lately I've been wondering what's been going on
I've been here before but I don't remember when
And every time we get to where we're entering
I feel my beliefs and hopes surrendering
[Refrain 1]
But I know I'll be coming home soon
And yes, I know that I'll be coming home soon
[Verse 2]
'Cause like the enemies that we are battling
I am nothing but a human alien
Left with nothing else but to keep wandering down
This path whilst stopping my hands trembling
[Refrain 2]
Because I know that I'll be coming home soon
And yes, I know that I'll be coming home soon
With a soldier's eyes, with a soldier's eyes
With a soldier's eyes, with a soldier's eyes
[Verse 3]
I've seen inside the devil's dreams where young men die
And graveyards open up their arms for mothers left to cry
I have seen the bleeding and I hate what we've done
But just like every other fool I'll keep marching on
[Refrain 3]
Because I know, that I'll be coming home soon
And yes, I know, that I'll be coming home soon
With a soldier's eyes, with a soldier's eyes
With a soldier's eyes, with a soldier's eyes
