Bm             G         A            E
Young men and soldiers, nineteen fourteen.
 Bm               G          A            C
Marching through countries they'd  never seen
 Bm           G         A          E
Virgins with rifles, a game of charades
C           F            A
All for a children's crusade

Pawns in the game are not victims of chance
Strewn on the fields of Belgium and France
Poppies for young men, death's bitter trade
All of those young lives betrayed

Chorus:
      C         G              C         G
The children of England would never be slaves
          C             Bm       Em       A#
They're trapped on the wire and dying in waves
      C       G             C           G
The Flower of England face down in the mud
      C             Bm         Em        A#
And stained in the blood of a whole generation

Corpulent generals safe behind lines
History's lessons drowned in red wine
Poppies for young men, death's bitter trade
All of those young lives betrayed

C          Bm7           Em
All for a children's crusade

chorus (x2)

Midnight in Soho, Nineteen Eighty-four
Fixing in doorways, opium slaves
Poppies for young men, such bitter trade
All of those young lives betrayed

All for a Children's Crusade
