[Verse 1]
Dm A7
I was only just fifteen, when I took a shilling from the king,
Dm F A7
And the Quartermaster winked at me, he knew I'd lied a - bout my age,
Dm A7
I learnt to take apart my gun, and feel tobacco in my lungs,
F C Dm A7 Dm
And we would roll our cigar - ettes with Bible pages!
[Verse 2]
Dm A7
And as we marched up to the line, 'knew we'd be back by winter time,
Dm F A7
But we soon learnt only the blind... could find their way back home,
Dm A7
And all through Deuteronomy, I cursed whatever had made me,
F C Dm A7 Dm
And we would roll our cigar - ettes with Bible pages!
[Chorus]
Gm Dm
There's no heaven, there's no hell, not as far as I can tell,
Gm A7 A7 A7/G A7/F A7/E
There's no Devil, there's no God, only men and mud! | / / / / |
[Verse 3]
Dm A7
When the brass would come around, we'd stand our feet sunk in the ground,
Dm F A7
They'd say we'd made our country proud, but their England was not mine,
Dm A7
And we must be prepared to die, but they forgot to tell us why,
F C Dm A7 Dm
And we would roll our cigar - ettes with Bible pages!
[Chorus]
Gm Dm
There's no heaven, there's no hell, not as far as I can tell,
Gm A7 A7 A7/G A7/F A7/E
There's no Devil, there's no God, only men and mud! | / / / / |
[Verse 4]
Dm A7
I'd not long turned seventeen, when I took the one that finished me,
Dm F A7
And I must have lain so peacefully, be - neath the broken sky,
Dm A7
And so they took my life away, and what would the Chaplain say,
F C Dm A7 Dm
If he knew we rolled our cigar - ettes with Bible pages,
F C Dm A7 Dm
All we had to roll our cigar - ettes was Bible pages!
