Capo 1
CGently gently 
Don't you let it Dmbreak 
Be caCreful darling 
For goFodness sake 
You're so awful awful 
Awfully quiet these days 
But no vow of silence 
Is going to make your case 
GConvince me I'm not bored 
EmConvince me I'm not bored 
AmConvince me I'm not C  
Killer killer 
I've got blood to spill 
This loathsome heart 
It has had it fill 
Pressure pressure 
Precious weight upon my shoulder 
I won't put you back 
I won't let you go 
I've got hand to hold 
These hands 
I've got hands to hold 
Hold these hands 
Quickly quickly 
With Godspeed fly to me 
Let him turn his back 
And just leave us be 
Soldier soldier 
Why would you wage that kind of war 
Now your tired feet 
They can march no more 
GCut off at the knees 
EmCut off at the knees 
AmCut off at the knees 
Cut offC

Capo 1

Gently gently

Don't you let it break

Be careful darling

For goodness sake

You're so awful awful

Awfully quiet these days

But no vow of silence

Is going to make your case

Convince me I'm not bored

Am C

Convince me I'm not

Killer killer

I've got blood to spill

This loathsome heart

It has had it fill

Pressure pressure

Precious weight upon my shoulder

I won't put you back

I won't let you go

I've got hand to hold

These hands

I've got hands to hold

Hold these hands

Quickly quickly

With Godspeed fly to me

Let him turn his back

And just leave us be

Soldier soldier

Why would you wage that kind of war

Now your tired feet

They can march no more

Cut off at the knees

Cut off
