[Intro] A G D/F# Em Em A G D/F# Em X2 [Verse]
     Em                                     A G D/F# Em
I've seen and done things I want to forget

          Em                                A G D/F# Em
I've seen soldiers fall like lumps of meat

Em                                 A G D/F# Em
Blown and shot out beyond belief

Em                               A G D/F# Em
Arms and legs were in the trees

     Em                                     A G D/F# Em
I've seen and done things I want to forget

Em                              A G D/F# Em
coming from an unearthly place

Em                             A G D/F# Em
Longing to see a woman's face

    Em                                 A G D/F# Em
Instead of the words that gather pace
[Chorus]
    Em
The words that maketh murder.

G                Gm
   These, these, these are the words-

    Dm                C
The words that maketh murder.

G                Gm
   These, these, these are the words-

    Dm                C
The words that maketh murder.

G                 Gm
    These, these, these are the words-

    Dm                C
The words that maketh murder.

G                Gm
   These, these, these are the words-

Gm
Murder...       
[Bridge]
 Em
(These, these, these are the words-

    A          G      D/F#  Em
The words that maketh murder.

Em
These, these, these are the words-

    A          G      D/F#  Em
The words that maketh murder.)
[Verse]
     Em
I've seen and done things I want to forget
(These, these, these are the words- The words that maketh murder...)
            Em
I've seen a corporal whose nerves were shot

Em                                    A G D/F# Em
Climbing behind the fierce, gone sun

Em                                 A G D/F# Em
I've seen flies swarming everyone

Em                                A G D/F# Em
Soldiers fell like lumps of meat
[Chorus]
Em
These are the words, the words are these.

G              Gm
   death lingering, stunk,

Dm                C
   Flies swarming everyone,

G                 Gm
   Over the whole summit peak,

Dm                 C
   Flesh quivering in the heat.

G                     Gm
   This was something else again.

Dm              C
   I fear it cannot be explained.

G                           Gm
   The words that make, the words that make

Gm   Dm
Murder.
[Outro]

        What if I take my problem to the United Nations?

        What if I take my problem to the United Nations?

        What if I take my to the United Nations?

        What if I take my problem to the United Nations?

        What if I take my United Nations?

Dm   Cm           Bb                     Gm
Ah aha oho ..
(What if I take my problem to the United Nations?)
          Dm      Cm           Bb                     Gm              Dm
What if I take my?   What if I take my                United Nations?
(What if I take my problem to the United Nations?)
