Capo 5.
(Spoken)
A minorAm 
G+G
You may talk of gin and beer
C majorC 
E MajorE
When you're stationed way out here
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
An' you're sent to penny fights an' Aldershot it
A minorAm G+G
But when it comes to slaughter
C majorC E MajorE
You will do your work for water
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
An' you'll lick the bloomin' boots of 'im that's got it.
A minorAm G+G
Now in Inja's sunny clime
C majorC E MajorE
Where I used to spend my time
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
Servin' her Majesty the Queen
A minorAm G+G
Of all the black faced crew
C majorC E MajorE
The finest man I knew
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
Was regimental bhisti, Gunga Din
A minorAm G+G
The uniform he wore
C majorC E MajorE
Was nothin' much before
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
An' rather less than half of that behind
A minorAm G+G
But a piece of twisty rag
C majorC E MajorE
An' a goatskin water bag
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
Was all the field equipment he could find
G+G
When a sweatin' troop train lay
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
In a sidin' through the day
C majorC G+G A minorAm
Where the heat would make you bloomin' eyebrows crawl
A minorAm G+G
We shouted, "Harry by?
C majorC E MajorE
Till our throats were bricky-dry
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
Then wopped him 'cause he couldn't serve us all.
A minorAm G+G
He would dot an' carry one
C majorC E MajorE
Till the longest day was done
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
An' never seemed to know the use of fear
A minorAm G+G
If we charged a broke or cut
C majorC E MajorE
You could bet your bloomin' nut
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
He'd be waitin' fifty paces right flank rear.
G+G
With his mussick on his back
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
He would skip to our attack
C majorC G+G A minorAm
An' watch us till the bugles made ?Retire"
A minorAm G+G
An' for all his dirty hide
C majorC E MajorE
He was white, clear white inside
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
When he went to tend the wounded under fire.
(Spoken)
A minorAm G+G C majorC E MajorE
It was Din, Din, Din
C majorC G+G A minorAm
With the bullets kickin' dust spots on the green
C majorC G+G
And when the cartridges ran out
C majorC E MajorE
You could hear the front files shout
C majorC G+G A minorAm
Send ammunition mules, and Gunga Din!
A minorAm G+G
I shan't forget the night
C majorC E MajorE
When I fell behind the fight
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
With a bullet where my belt plate should a' been
A minorAm G+G
I was chokin' mad with thirst
C majorC E MajorE
An' the man that spied me first
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
Was our good old grinnin', gruntin' Gunga Din
G+G
He lifted up my head
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
An' he plugged me where I bled
C majorC G+G A minorAm
An' he gave me half a pint of water green
A minorAm G+G
It was crawlin' and it stunk
C majorC E MajorE
But of all the drinks I've drunk
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
I'm most grateful to the one from Gunga Din
A minorAm G+G
He carried me away
C majorC E MajorE
To where a dooli lay
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
An' a bullet came and drilled the beggar clean
A minorAm G+G
He carried me inside
C majorC E MajorE
An' just before he died
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
I hope you liked your drink said Gunga Din.
G+G
So I'll meet him later on
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
In the place where he as gone
C majorC G+G A minorAm
Where it's always double drill and no canteen
A minorAm G+G
He'll be squattin' on the coals
C majorC E MajorE
Givin' drinks to poor damned souls
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
I'll catch a swig in hell from Gunga Din
A minorAm G+G C majorC E MajorE
It was Din, Din, Din
C majorC G+G A minorAm
You Lazarushian-leather Gunga Din
C majorC G+G
Tho' I've belted you an' flayed you
C majorC E MajorE
By the livin' God that made you
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G A minorAm C majorC E MajorE A minorAm G+G A minorAm
