A butcher, yes that was my trade, but the King's shilling is now my fee,

    Dm       G      Dm         G                F       G      A   Asus2 A
A butcher I may as well have stayed, for the slaughter that I see,

          Dm      G       Dm    G           F     Bb        F        A
And the preacher, in his pulpit,  sermoned,"Go & fight! Do what is right!"

   Dm         G       Dm         G            F       G        A    Asus2 A
But he don't have to hear these guns, & I'll bet he sleeps at night!

   Am             Dm              Dm/C       G/B               Bb
And I--------, and I can't stop shaking, my hands won't stop shaking,

    Dm              Dm/C        G/B              Bb
My arms won't stop shaking, my mind won't stop shaking,

   Am         G(type2)  G4  G(type2)       
I want to go home,            

         F        Cm7/Eb  Cm6/Eb  Cm/Eb      D/A
Please, let me go home------------------, go home!

And I have seen a friend of mine hang on the wire, like some rag toy,

      Dm      G         Dm          G        F    G       A     A Asus2 A
Then, in the heat, the flies come down, and cover up the boy,

         Dm         G        Dm          
And the flies come down in Gommecourt, 

    G       F     Bb        F         A
Thiepval, Mametz Wood and French Ver-dun,

         Dm     G        Dm          G               
If the preacher he could see those flies, 

            F             G        A     A Asus2 A
Wouldn't preach for the sound of guns!

   Am             Dm              Dm/C       G/B               Bb
And I--------, and I can't stop shaking, my hands won't stop shaking,

    Dm              Dm/C        G/B              Bb
My arms won't stop shaking, my mind won't stop shaking,

   Am         G(type2)  G4  G(type2)       
I want to go home,

Please, let me go home------------------, go home!
