Dear brother, you would not believe
      D MajorD            A augmentedA    E MajorE
What these killing fields, force my eyes to see

    A augmentedA          F# minorF#m
From a snipers post, with a trembling hand
   D MajorD        A augmentedA    E MajorE
Put a bullet in.....to another man

     A augmentedA           F# minorF#m
Watch the crimson bloom, on his uniform

Billow like a cloud, ‘till his life was gone

Don’t let your heart swell up, with unfounded pride

   A augmentedA           F# minorF#m
For a distant King, you’d be fighting for
    D MajorD          A augmentedA    E MajorE
Lay you down to waste, on a distant shore

  G+G    D MajorD      A augmentedA
The killers stain heavy on me now

When that whistle blows, its mournful sound

Will deliver me to the hungry mouth
    FF    G+G     A augmentedA
Of the howling hounds of hell
