Chorus:

B5 A5    B5 A5     ?
Foxhole, foxhole- Oh no danger
Foxhole, foxhole- Where's my guardian angel
Foxhole, foxhole- Oh no

B5              E5
You show me the war

D5                A5
I don't know what for

B5              E5
You show me the war

D5                   A5
But the war's such a bore


After 1st chorus play the first "bar" of the lead guitar from the intro
with the main riff.


Lyrics:

Soldier boy stands at a full salute
Wants your orders to execute
Send him out 'neath the screaming red lights
In a narrow ditch for the funny fights

Foxhole, foxhole- Oh no danger
Foxhole, foxhole- Where's my guardian angel
Foxhole, foxhole- Oh no
You show me the war
I don't know what for
You show me the war
But the war's such a bore

In a line of duty, in a line of fire
A heartless heart is my proper attire

Foxhole, foxhole- Too much danger
Foxhole, foxhole- Where's my guardian angel
Foxhole, foxhole- Too much danger
The flashing sword
It's been explored
The perfect slice
The perfect slice of life

Solo

I feel the shells hit, moonlight web
Goodbye arms, so long, head

Foxhole, foxhole- Too more danger
Foxhole, foxhole- Hello guardian angel
Foxhole, foxhole- No more danger
You pin me down
Go ahead it's a cinch
You pin me down
You'll feel the pinch
I was trained for the fights

Solo with chorus:
Foxhole, foxhole-
