[Intro]
Em G Am Em G Em
G Em G
[Verse 1]
Am C Digging all day and digging all night Em To keep my foxhole out of sight D C Digging into dinner on a plate on my knees Em The smell of damp webbing in the morning breeze Am C Fear in my stomach, fear in the sky Em I eat my dinner with a weary eye Am C After all this it won't be the same Em G D C D G D C D Messing around on Salisbury Plain
[Chorus]
G Pick up your feet, fall in, move out C We're going to a party way down South G Me and the Corporal out on a spree C D Em Am C Em Am C Damned from here to eternity
[Bridge]
Em Am C I can already taste the blood in my mouth? Em Am C We're going to a party way down South
[Interlude]
Em G Em G Em G
[Verse 2]
D C I hate this flat land, there's no cover Em For sons and fathers and brothers and lovers D C I can take the killing, I can take the slaughter Em But I don't talk to Sun reporters D C I never thought that I would be G Em Fighting fascists in the Southern Sea Am C I saw one today and in his hand Em G D C D G D C D Was a weapon that was made in Birmingham
[Chorus]
G D Pick up your feet, fall in, move out C D We're going to a party way down South G D Me and the Corporal out on a spree C D Em Am C Em Am C Damned from here to eternity
[Bridge]
Em Am C I can already taste the blood in my mouth? Em Am C Em We're going to a party way down South
[Interlude]

[Chorus]
Em G I wish Kipling and the Captain were here D C To record our pursuits for posterity Em G Me and the Corporal out on a spree D C Em G Em G Damned from here to eternity
