Verse 1:
Em             D               Em       C  D
 I've looked into the heart of darkness
Em         D                 Em   C  Am
 Where the blood-red journey ends
Em           D                  Em       C  D
 When you've faced the heart of darkness
Em         D              Em   C  Am
 Even your soul begins to bend

Verse 2:
Em     D                Em      C  D
 For a week I have been waiting
Em          D          Em  C  Am
 Still I am only in Saigon
Em              D           Em     C  D
 The walls move in a little closer
Em          C              D    C  D
 I feel the jungle call me on

(distorted power chords)

Verse 3:
Em     D            Em     C  D
 Every minute I get weaker
Em            D                Em     C  Am
 While in the jungle they grow strong
Em      D            Em      C  D
 What I wanted was a mission
Em          D                 Em   C  Am
 And for my sins they gave me one

Verse 4:
Em               D                 Em      C  D
 They brought it up just like room service
Em          D                  Em   C  Am
'Cause everyone gets what they want
Em             D               Em   C  D
 And when that mission was all over
Em         C            D   C  D
 I'd never want another one

 In this war things get so confused

And now I understand why the genius must die

Chorus 1:
Em     D                  Em       C  D
 Now I stand alone in the darkness
Em        D             Em    C  Am
 With his blood upon my hands
Em             D           Em   C  D

 Now lie the fragments of a man

 Even your soul begins to bend
