A great cover from Quo. I'm not quite sure about the Amb6 that the lead guitar plays in
intro, but that's what it looks like Francis is playing on a live performance that I
If it doesn't sound right to you, then just play and A5 in its place.
Enjoy playing this and Merry Christmas! =)
Intro - Palm muted Dm for 2 rounds, then:
Keyboard:
Lead Guitar:
A vacation in a foreign land
Uncle Sam does the best he can
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
Now you remember what the draftsman said
Nothing to do all day but stay in bed
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
You'll be the hero of the neighborhood
Nobody knows that you've left for good
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
Smiling faces as you wave to land
But once you get there no one gives a damn
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
(intro again)
Dm (STOP)
Hand grenades flying over your head
(Key change - up a whole tone)
Missiles flying over your head
If you wanna survive get out of bed
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
Shots ring out in the dead of night
(STOP)
The sergeant calls "Stand up and fight!"
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
You've got your orders better shoot on sight
Your finger's on the trigger but it don't seem right
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
Solo:
Night is falling and you just can't see
Is this illusion or reality?
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
Keyboard melody over second verse:
Fill after "Smiling faces as you wave to land":
