Thhis is a great song,its reminds me of my childhood days.It was in \"89 I 1st listened to it.
For the INTRO and BREAK use the normal chord but hold D in 5th fret,A too in the 5th fret and Con 3rd fret,
I think you'll know what I mean,but into the song part hold the chord as given below
Dm G Am Bm Em
e-------- e-------------- e-------------- e------------------ e--------------

In The Army Now
(Bolland/Bolland)
[Intro]
Dm - Am - Dm - C
Dm
A vacation in the foreign land
Uncle Sam does the best he can
Gm
You're in the army now
Dm
Oh, oh you're in the army - now
Dm
Now you remember what the draft man said
Nothing to do all day but stay in bed
Gm
You're in the army now
Dm
Oh, oh you're in the army - now
Dm
You'll be a hero of the neighbourhood
Nobody knows that you left for good
Gm
You're in the army now
Am Dm
Oh, oh you're in the army - now
Dm
Smiling faces on the way to 'Nam
But once you get there no one gives a damn
Gm
You're in the army now
Am Dm
Oh, oh you're in the army - now
[Break]
Dm - Am - Dm - C
Dm
Hand grenades flying over your head (drum breaks)
Em
The sun's flying over your head
If you wanna survive get out of bed
Am
You're in the army now
Bm Em
Oh, oh you're in the army - now
Em
Shots ring out in the dead of night
N.C.
The sergeant calls : \"Stand up and fight!\"
Am
You're in the army now
Bm Em
Oh, oh you're in the army - now
Am
You're in the army now
Bm Em
Oh, oh you're in the army - now
Em
You've got your orders to shoot on sight
your finger's on the trigger but it don't seem right
Am
You're in the army now
Bm Em
Oh, oh you're in the army - now
Am
You're in the army now
Bm Em
Oh, oh you're in the army - now
Em
Night is falling and you just can't see
Is this illusion or reality
Am
You're in the army now
Bm Em
Oh, oh you're in the army, in the army – now
Am
You're in the army now
Bm Em
Oh, oh you're in the army – now
Am
You're in the army now
Bm Em
Oh, oh you're in the army, in the army – now
