[1st verse]
C F C G C
Oh Sergeant I'm a draftee and I've just arrived in camp
C F C G C
I've come to wear the uniform and join the martial tramp
F C F C D G
And I want to do my duty, but one thing I do implore
C F C G C
You must give me lessons, sergeant, for I've never killed before
[2nd verse]
C F C G C
To do my job obediently is all that I desire
C F C G C
To learn my weapon thoroughly and how to aim and fire
F C F C D G
To learn to kill the enemy and then to slaughter more
C F C G C
I'll need instruction, sergeant, for I've never killed before
[3rd verse]
C F C G C
Now there are several lessons that I haven't mastered yet
C F C G C
I haven't got the hang of how to use the bayonet
F C F C D G
If he doesn't die at once am I to stick him with it more?
C F C G C
Oh, I hope you will be patient, for I've never killed before
[4th verse]
C F C G C
Oh, there are rumors in the camp about our enemy
C F C G C
They say that when you see him he looks just like you and me
F C F C D G
But you deny it, Sergeant, and you are a man of war
C F C G C
So you must give me lessons, for I've never killed before
[5th verse]
C F C G C
The hand grenade is something that I just don't understand
C F C G C
You've got to throw it quickly or you're apt to lose your hand
F C F C D G
Does it blow a man to pieces with it's wicked, muffled roar?
C F C G C
Oh, I've got so much to learn because I've never killed before
C F C G C
Oh, I want to thank you, Sergeant, for the help you've been to me
C F C G C
For you've taught me how to slaughter and to hate the enemy
F C F C D G
And I know that I'll be ready when they march me off to war
C F C G C
And I know that it won't matter that I've never killed before
G C F C G C
And I know that it won't matter that I've never killed before
C F C G C
Oh Sergeant I'm a draftee and I've just arrived in camp
