verse 1
He was first one out of the landing craft
                        G                                                      Am  
When the ramp hit the churning sand
He was first one out of the red-cross train
                  G  
To the sound of the big brass band
                  C                                                      G  
He was first in line for his demob suit
                        Am                                              Em  
When the war he'd fought was won
                     Am  
Then he settled down, rebuilt his town
G                                                 Am  
Thought his job was done
                                G                                      Am  
Fifty years on, fifty years on
                                                                G  
He's grown too old, his house is sold
          C                                      E  
And all his money's gone
             Am                                                                                              G  
Like him, it's thrown to the nursing home
                                Am  
Fifty years on
verse 2
          G                                            Am  
She flew the big ones too
There was no job the air force had
          G  
She felt she couldn't do
             C                                                    G  
From dawn she'd toil with plug and coil
          Am                                 Em  
Her scent was oily rag
          Am  
Her mad days and her salad days
G                              Am  
Given to the flag
                                G                                      Am  
Fifty years on, fifty years on
                                                                        G  
Her face is bruised, she's been abused
          C                                         E  
And all her spirit's gone
                  Am                                                                                            G  
He was just a child, but the kids are wild

Fifty years on, fifty years gone
                                F                                      C                                                         E  
And they've lost a war they could have sworn they'd won
                                G                                      Am  
Fifty years on, fifty years gone
                     F                                                                                                      C                                                 E  
And the kids say please to the Japanese, can we work for the new Nippon
                                Am  
Fifty years on
verse 3
G                            Am  
Fifty years on
But the courts are mild when they mug and beat
G  
Fifty years on
                          C                                                                    G  
They were youngsters then, they were boys not men
Am                                            Em  
Girls who grew too fast
                          Am  
They were our front line, now it's me and mine
                     G                                 Am  
And the old ones come last
                                G                                      Am  
Fifty years on, fifty years on
                                                                             G  
They're fighting still, they always will
          C                              E  
But with so many gone
             Am                                                                                         G  
They stand with pride, but someone lied
                                Am  
Fifty years on

                                Am                      G  
Fifty years on, time's passed
