A bu[Dm]tcher, y[G]es that [Dm]was my tr[G]ade, but the Ki[F]ng's sh[Bb]illing is n[F]ow my f[A]ee,
A bu[Dm]tcher I m[G]ay as w[Dm]ell have st[G]ayed, for the sla[F]ughter t[G]hat I s[A]ee,[Asus2][A]
And the pr[Dm]eacher, [G]in his p[Dm]ulpit,[G] sermoned,"[F]Go & f[Bb]ight! Do w[F]hat is ri[A]ght!"

Then, [Dm]in the h[G]eat, the f[Dm]lies come do[G]wn, and c[F]over [G]up the b[A]oy,[A][Asus2][A]
And the f[Dm]lies come d[G]own in Go[Dm]mmecourt,
Thie[G]pval, Ma[F]metz W[Bb]ood and Fr[F]ench Ver-d[A]un,
If the pr[Dm]eacher [G]he could [Dm]see those fl[G]ies,
Wouldn't pre[F]ach for the so[G]und of gu[A]ns![A][Asus2][A]
