CAPO: 7th Fret



[INTRO:] G    C    G    D    G    C    G  D  G

[VERSE 1:]
                        C
When this bloody war is over
G                     D
No more soldiering for me
G                   C
When I get my civvy clothes on
G       D            G
Oh, how happy I will be


[VERSE 2:]
D                        G
No more church parades on Sunday
C       G             A        D
No more putting in for leave
G                        C
I will kiss the sergeant-major
G        D                 G
How I'll miss him, how I'll grieve


[VERSE 3:]
                          C
Kitchener told us when we went there
G                       D
All the medals we could win
G                       C
There's no glory in the guardroom
        G       D                  G
And the medals, they're all made of tin


[VERSE 5:]
D                       G
No more standing in the trenches
C       G              A         D
No more dodging shells and fire
G                         C
We will tell the sergeant-major 
      G        D               G
We're tired of all this bloody mire


[INSTRUMENTAL:] G    C    G    D    G    C    G  D  G


[VERSE 6:]
D                        G
No more church parades on Sunday
C       G           A        D
No more begging for a pass
G                        C
I will tell the sergeant-major
      G          D                 G
He can stuff his pass right up his arse


[OUTRO:] G   C
