A            F#m            D            A      E

[Verse]
     A                  F#mDear brother, you would not believe
           D                        A       EWhat these killing fields, force my eyes to see

       A                    F#mFrom a snipers post, with a trembling hand
      D                A       EPut a bullet in.....to another man

          A                     F#mWatch the crimson bloom, on his uniform
       D                       A        EBillow like a cloud, ‘till his life was gone


[Chorus]
    G       D           AThe killers stain heavy on me now
       E               AFix my bayonet for the final hour
          D                  AWhen that whistle blows, its mournful sound
     E                 DWill deliver me to the hungry mouth
       F       G         AOf the howling hounds of hell


[Bridge]
A            F#m            D            A      E


[Verse]
         A                     F#mWhen the snowball comes, the recruitment drive
       D                               A       EDon’t  let your heart swell up, with unfounded pride

      A                      F#mFor a distant King, you’d be fighting for
        D                   A       ELay you down to waste, on a distant shore


[Chorus]
    G       D           AThe killers stain heavy on me now
       E               AFix my bayonet for the final hour
          D                  AWhen that whistle blows, its mournful sound
     E                 DWill deliver me to the hungry mouth
       F       G         AOf the howling hounds of hell
