What's A Few Men

• D

Standard Tuning.  All chords are open chords.  I am unsure of 
the fill section at the end of each chorus - but I think its 
based around a 'C-shape' sliding upto a D (comments please). 
Catch later Andrew. 
 
Intro 
G played lightly. 
 
Verse 1 
				C 
The colonel said "these bodies stink" 
      D				   G 
Won't someone come and drag them away 
					 C 
We tried to clean em' out but the more I stare 
	D				G 
And the English colonel turns the other way 
					  C 
Oh the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak 
       D					G 
Well I ran for the trench but I did not turn to speak 
					   C 
Well my heart said "yes" but my head said "no" 
	 D				   G 
When the English colonel said "its time to go"

Verse 1 
			   C 
The colonel's job is never done" 
   D				     G 
So he declares time out on Christmas day 
			 C 
We held the enemy in our arms 
        D				  G 
And we ploughed each others dead into the clay 
				       C 
Oh the lord said that death will be no longer 
    D				  G 
And all of these things will pass away 
					 C 
There'll be no sorrow and there'll be no pain
