verse 1
    C7
I have people to free, they're depending on me
   Am
So I can't afford to die

Get 'em safely back, then I won't stay too long
    C        D
I'll be leaving soon for London
    G               Dm
So I'll look this war straight in the eye

Only thirty days, so I can't afford to die

    C7
When I think of the dead, that go round in my head
   Am
No, I can't afford to die
    C7                    Am
So the thing to do is pretend that they weren't there
    C      D
With my baby at home waiting
   G          Dm
I can give myself a little sigh
   C         Cm       Dm   G
Only thirty days, so I can't afford to die

     C7
God ain't taking my hand, not to no promised land
   Am
So I can't afford to die
    C7               Am
So I'll cease my command before another bomb
   C       D
If I see my home a free man
    G         Dm
I'll remember why I never cried
   C         Cm       Dm   G
Only thirty days, so I can't afford to die
