Verse
E G#
Honey, don't tell the boys I been talkin' like this
F#m E
'Cause I can't have 'em thinkin' I'm scared
E G#
Truth is I ain't afraid a'nothin' no more
F#m E
I'm tired and I just don't care
E G#
How many tours is too many tours
F#m E
My baby she'd like to know
G#
'Cause always there at the back a'my mind
F#m E
Is that Jody's there when I go
[Chorus]
E Bm
Never let 'em send me back to Sadr City
E Bm
Never let 'em send me back
E Bm
Some shit went down, down in Sadr City
E D
Some shit went down in Iraq
E
I ain't goin' back
[Verse 2]
E G#
Well I was there in '04 when it first got hot
F#m E
And Muqtada's local fighters emerged
E G#
Earned a Purple Heart via Seven-Six-Two
F#m E
And another later during the Surge
E G#
Didn't know nothin' back then, didn't care
F#m E
It was get it on and kick us some ass
E G#
Couldn't tell a Sunni from a Shia from the Kurds
F#m E
But they educated me pretty fast
[Chorus]
E Bm
Never let 'em send me back to Sadr City
E Bm
Never let 'em send me back
E Bm
Some shit went down, down in Sadr City
E D
Some shit went down in Iraq
D
I ain't goin' back
[Verse 3]
E G#
Well it was pretty touch n'go from the very first light
F#m E
Fiercest action that I'd ever seen
E G#
Ambush come and we hadda' dismount
F#m E
Get busy, fight it out in the streets
E G#
Well all hell broke loose, takin' fire from the rooftops
F#m E
Haji launchin' RPGs
E G#
Fightin' runnin' battles with militias in the alleys
F#m E
Draggin' on and on week after week
E G#
Takin' hits at fifty metres from a shrine nearby
F#m E
But they wouldn't let us light up a mosque
E G#
Then our tanks rolled in, real hard real heavy
F#m E
But they couldn't help the guys that we lost
[Chorus]
E Bm
Never let 'em send me back to Sadr City
E Bm
Never let 'em send me back
E Bm
Some shit went down, down in Sadr City
E D
Some shit went down in Iraq
E
I ain't goin' back
[Verse 4]
E G#
Well I don't know if it matters to the folks back home
F#m E
But they say they're all supportin' the troops
E G#
There's no time anyway to be dwelling on that
F#m E
Out here thinkin's only for fools
E G#
And as long as there's no lack of young man willin'
F#m E
To ride to the sound of the guns
E G#
I'll be waking up dreaming of the Mahdi Army
F#m E
And of both sides losing their sons
[Final Chorus]
E Bm
They ain't a-gonna send me back to Sadr City
E Bm
They ain't a-gonna send me back
E Bm
My orders came through and babe it isn't pretty
E D
It's Afghanistan instead of Iraq
D
They're sending me back
