 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

 Bridge 1 
 
 Em                            Em                   
  I know, captain, that you've done this work before
 G D                             Bm              C D 
   We've got a problem, you can help us all I'm sure
 Em                                 Em                 
  The colonel's gone rogue, and his methods are unsound
 G D                     C               D      
   You'll take a PBR up river track him down...

 Bridge 2 
 
 Em                     Em               
  There's a conflict in every human heart
 G D                         Bm             C D 
   And the temptation is to take it all to far
 Em           Em                    
  In this war things get so confused
 G D                                Bm          C D  
   But there are some things which cannot be excused
 
 Bridge 3 
 
 Em                           Em            
  He's acting like a God - an insane lunatic
 G D                                Bm           C D 
   Your mission - exterminate with extreme prejudice
 Em                               Em                  
  The route is dangerous and your progress may be slow
 G D                          C       D              
   Here is the file and it's all you need to know...

 Pre-chorus 
 
 Em            G               
 Here I am the knife in my hand
         Am                   C           D  
 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 
  Where sat the warrior the poet
 Em           C              D  C D 
  Now lie the fragments of a man
 
 (clean picking)
 
 Chorus 2 
 
 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         C              D   C D 
  Even your soul begins to bend
