[Verse 1]
DmGDmG
A butcher, yes, that was my trade,
FBbFA
But the King's shilling is now my fee,
DmGDmG
A butcher I may as well have stayed,
FGAAAsus2A
For the slaughter that I see!
[Verse 2]
DmGDmG
And the preacher, in his pulpit,
FBbFA
Sermoned, "Go and fight! Do what is right!"
DmGDmG
But he don't have to hear these guns,
FGAAAsus2A
And I'll bet he sleeps at night!
[Chorus]
AmDmDm/C
And I----, and I can't stop shaking,
G/BBb
My hands won't stop shaking,
DmDm/CG/BBb
My arms won't stop shaking, my mind won't stop shaking,
AmG * G * G4G *
I want to go home,
FCm7/EbCm6/EbCm/EbD/A
Please, let me go home-----------------, go home!

[Verse 3]
DmGDmG
And I have seen a friend of mine...
FBbFA
...Hang on the wire, like some rag toy,
DmGDmG
Then, in the heat, the flies come down,
FGAAAsus2A
And cover up the boy!
[Verse 4]
DmGDmG
And the flies come down in Gommecourt, Thiepval,
FBbFA
Mametz Wood and French Ver -dun,
DmGDmG
If the preacher he could see those flies,
FGAAAsus2A
'Wouldn't preach for the sound of guns!
[Chorus]
