Fortune Of Soldiers Chords & Lyrics - Judy Collins

[INTRO]
[Am] [C] [D]

[VERSE 1]
Was the [Am]fortune of soldiers to be [F]always at [C]war
Sighting down the [G]barrel at what[F]ever comes?
Till the [Am]fighters forgot what they were [F]doing it [C]for
And reason was [G]lost in the [D]sound of the drums

[VERSE 2]
'Twas the [Am]fortune of soldiers to be [F]always a[C]lone
Forgetting the [G]faces of all their [F]loved ones
[Am]Far from their daydreams, [F]far from their [C]homes
Love songs were [G]drowned in the [D]sound of the drums

[CHORUS]
Don't you know the [G]dream has come true? [G/B]
Don't you know by now the [C]dream has come true?
When they say that [F]peace can never be
It's a fantasy, they didn't [C]know about you

[CHORUS]
Don't you know the [G]dream has come true? [G/B]
Don't you know by now the [C]dream has come true?
When they say that [F]peace can never be
They weren't imagining what one [Am]dreamer can do

[VERSE 3]
'Tis the [Am]fortune of bankers and [F]builders of [C]arms
To worship the [G]profit how[F]ever it comes
[Am]Up in their towers, [F]sheltered from [C]harm
Far from the [G]smoke and the [D]sound of the drums

[VERSE 4]
'Tis the [Am]fortune of dreamers to [F]see what they [C]see
To live with the [G]scorn till the [F]miracle comes
To [Am]teach us the music and [F]show us the [C]key
And the chorus to [G]silence the [D]sound of the drums

[CHORUS]
Don't you know the [G]dream has come true? [G/B]
Don't you know by now the [C]dream has come true?
When they say that [F]peace can never be
It's a fantasy, they didn't [C]know about you

[CHORUS]
Don't you know the [G]dream has come true? [G/B]
Don't you know by now the [C]dream has come true?
When they say that [F]peace can never be
They weren't imagining what one [Am]dreamer can do

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[Am] [F] [C] [G] [F] [Am] [F] [C] [G] [D]

[VERSE 5]
'Tis the [Am]fortune of children to [F]have such a [C]choice
To grow up to be [G]dreamers or [F]builders of guns
[Am]Born to be angels, [F]born to re[C]joice
Not to grow [G]up to the [D]sound of the drums

[CHORUS]
Don't you know the [G]dream has come true? [G/B]
Don't you know by now the [C]dream has come true?
When they say that [F]peace can never be
It's a fantasy, they didn't [C]know about you

[CHORUS]
Don't you know the [G]dream has come true? [G/B]
Don't you know by now the [C]dream has come true?
When they say that [F]peace can never be

It's a fantasy
