LIKE SOLDIERS DO by Billy Bragg - Tabbed by Tcoldsteel 2009 CAPO (probably) 2nd or 3rd Fret. Pick-up in bridge position (as usual). This tab may be better as an acoustic version anyway. This is the VERY BASIC chord structure. All chords relative to CAPO. Use a mixture of barred and open chords (The ’F’ sounds better barred to me) and signature runs/licks between chords to get Billy’s sound. INTRO: VERSE: Blues eyes fighting the grey eyes fighting the tears Armed to the teeth for a war of words Reaching all the years I advanced across a poppy field I saw the gleam as you raised your shield And love screamed down With the sun behind its back CHORUS: Our Fathers were all soldiers Shall we be soldiers too Fighting and falling like soldiers do Nothing is clear in this tactical unclear war I can’t be bothered to find out What we are fighting for No one can win this war of the senses I see no reason to drop my defences So stand fast my emotions Rally round my shaking heart Our Fathers were all soldiers Shall we be soldiers too Fighting and falling like soldiers do Blue eyes fighting the grey eyes fighting the tears Armed to the teeth for a war of words Reaching all the years I advanced across a poppy field I saw the gleam as you raised your shield And love screamed down With the sun behind its back I knew once again I was under attack So stand fast my emotions Rally round my shaking heart Our Fathers were all soldiers Shall we be soldiers too Fighting and falling like soldiers Fighting and falling like soldiers Fighting and falling like soldiers do Have fun.

La chanson évoque un combat intérieur et une lutte émotionnelle, utilisant la métaphore de la guerre pour illustrer les défis des relations humaines. Elle parle de la transmission héritée des luttes de génération en génération, en se demandant si nous devons nous battre comme nos ancêtres l'ont fait. Les paroles soulignent la confusion des motivations derrière ces combats, comme si l'auteur s'interrogeait sur la véritable nature de ce que nous défendons, tout en reconnaissant une vulnérabilité profonde face à ses propres émotions. Les champs de coquelicots symbolisent la beauté et la douleur de ces luttes, mêlant amour et conflit.
