Verse:
       DmDm
As the drum roll started on that day
        BbBb
Heard a hundred miles away
  CC
AA million shells were fired
        AA
And the green fields turned to grey


       DmDm
The bombardment lasted all day long
        BbBb
Yet the forts were standing strong
CC
Heavily defended
        BbBb                           FF          CC
Now the trap has been sprung and the battle has begun


Pre-Chorus:
GmGm              AA
   Descend into darkness
GmGm                     BbBb             CC
   Three-hundred-three days below the sun

Chorus:
             DmDm       BbBb
Fields of Verdun
        CC            AmAm
And the battle has begun
           BbBb
Nowhere to run
           DmDm
Father and son
            GmGm
Fall one by one
          AA
Under the gun

Fields of Verdun


Verse:
         DmDm
Though a million shells have scarred the land
       BbBb
No one has the upper hand
         CC
From the ground above to trenches
          AA
Where the soldiers make their stand


       DmDm
As the trenches slowly turn to mud
         BbBb
And then quickly start to flood
       CC
Death awaits in every corner
        BbBb                       FF             CC
As they die in the mud, fill the trenches with blood


Pre-Chorus:
GmGm              AA
   Descend into darkness
GmGm                     BbBb             CC
   Three-hundred-three days below the sun

Nowhere to run
           DmDm
Father and son
            GmGm
Fall one by one
          AA
Under the gun


            DmDm                BbBb
Thy will be done (thy will be done)
        CC               AmAm
And the judgement has begun

Bridge:
DmDm           BbBb
Fields of execution
          CC                  DmDm
Turned to wasteland from the grass
BbBb               DmDm
Thou shalt go no further
       FF                     AA
It was said: "They shall not pass!"


    BbBb          FF                CC              FF
The spirit of resistance and the madness of the war


So...
BbBb
Go ahead!
AmAm
Face the led!
GmGm
Join the dead!
FF
Though you die!
EE
Where you lie!
EE            AA
Never asking why!
