Intro
A G D Em
Em A G D Em

Em                                          A G D Em
I've seen and done things I want to forget
Em                                          A G D Em
I've seen soldiers fall like lumps of meat
Em                                          A G D Em
Blown and shot out beyond belief
Em                                          A G D Em
Arms and legs were in the trees
Em                                          A G D Em
I've seen and done things I want to forget
Em                                          A G D Em
coming from an unearthly place
Em                                          A G D Em
Longing to see a woman's face
Em                                          A G D Em
Instead of the words that gather pace

Em                                              
The words that maketh murder.
G
These, these, these are the words-
Dm                      C                           
The words that maketh murder.
G
These, these, these are the words-
Dm                     C                            
The words that maketh murder.
G
These, these, these are the words-
    Em
Murder...       

Em                                                        
These, these, these are the words-
      A         G      D      Em
The words that maketh murder.

Em                                           A G D Em
I've seen and done things I want to forget;
Em                                           A G D Em
I've seen a corporal whose nerves were shot
Em                                           A G D Em
Climbing behind the fierce, gone sun,
Em                                           A G D Em
I've seen flies swarming everyone,
Em                                           A G D Em
Soldiers fell like lumps of meat.

Em                                                        
These are the words, the words are these.
G
death lingering, stunk,
Dm              C                           
Flies swarming everyone,
G
Over the whole summit peak,
Dm               C                          
Flesh quivering in the heat.
G
This was something else again.
Dm           C                      
I fear it cannot explain
G
The words that make, the words that make
     Dm C
Murder.

          Am                      Gm             Dm 
What if I take my problem to the United Nations?
