Lyrics
Sold A Bill of Goods (Dargan)
Em G D What happened over there, I will not tell you Em G D What I did over there, I cannot say Am Em I wish I’d never gone D Em How I wish I’d never gone C D Em And if I could, I’d go back again today
We went over there because we wanted to We went over there ‘cause we were told I wish I’d never gone How I wish I’d never gone And if I could, I would go back a thousandfold
D C
We were sold… We were sold a bill of goods D C D Em We were sold… We were sold a bill of goods
The only rule was there were no rules The only goal was stay alive I wish I’d never gone How I wish I’d never gone But I would stay to help my brothers to survive
CHORUS
F D Every second was an hour F D Every minute was a day F D Couldn’t see the bigger picture F D Em Now they’re packing us away…
Gtr Solo over Verse

Effectively earnest and powerful, yes. Adventurous use of reverb on the harmony vocals (I might have to steal that :-) A keeper for sure!
A great take on a war song. The lyrics are powerful, and it's very well performed. I really enjoyed it.
I really like how the lyrics leave enough specificity out to be relatable and intriguing. Excellent vocals with those lyrics, too! This has a very smooth and natural flow—all of it just felt right. Very well done!
