A G D/F# Em
Em   A   G   D/F#   EmX2
[Verse]
I've Emseen and done things I want to forgetA  G  D/F#  Em  
I've seen Emsoldiers fall like lumps of meatA  G  D/F#  Em  
EmBlown and shot out beyond beliefA  G  D/F#  Em  
EmArms and legs were in the treesA  G  D/F#  Em  
I've Emseen and done things I want to forgetA  G  D/F#  Em  
Emcoming from an unearthly placeA  G  D/F#  Em  
EmLonging to see a woman's faceA  G  D/F#  Em  
InstEmead of the words that gather paceA  G  D/F#  Em  
[Chorus]
The Emwords that maketh murder.
GThese, these, Gmthese are the words-
The Dmwords that maketh Cmurder.
GThese, these, Gmthese are the words-
The Dmwords that maketh Cmurder.
GThese, these, Gmthese are the words-
The Dmwords that maketh Cmurder.
GThese, these, Gmthese are the words-
GmMurder...
