(Dm) Anichka's looking down this (Gm) morning She's listening once again to that sad (Dm) song (Bb) Time flies they say when you're (Dm) having fun But she (Bb) knows this (C) weekend won't be (Dm) long (Gm) Could be the last one we spend to(Dm)gether (C) A fact we both have to con(Dm)front (Gm) My orders came in the mail this (Dm) morning I am (Bb) needed (C) back at the (Dm) front

(Dm) I've been through hell and back these (Gm) years Seen things that no one should ever (Dm) see (Bb) Seen comrades blown into (Dm) pieces some days Just a (Bb) few metres (C) down the trench from (Dm) me (Gm) I've never given her the (Dm) details (C) She's got enough to think a(Dm)bout (Gm) But I'll be thinking of her on (Dm) Monday When I'm (Bb) down (C) in our dug(Dm)out

(G) We never asked to be in(Dm)vaded (G) We're not the aggressors in this (Dm) war (G) Memories of peace have almost (Dm) faded But we (Bb) know (C) what we are fighting (Dm) for

(Dm) Anichka's putting on a (Gm) brave face "We'll have some fun today!" she (Dm) claims (Bb) But I know the smile she's (Dm) giving me Is (Bb) one she's (C) struggling to main(Dm)tain (Gm) I've been so lucky in the (Dm) trenches But a (C) run of luck can come to an (Dm) end (Gm) We both know, deep (Dm) down in our hearts This (Bb) could be our (C) very last week(Dm)end
