Verse 1 
                        C 
The colonel said "these bodies stink" 
      D                           G 
Won't someone come and drag them away 
                               C 
We tried to clean em' out but the more I stare 
      D                        G 
And the English colonel looks the other way 
                                C 
Oh the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak 
       D                              G 
Well I ran for the trench but I'd no time to speak 
                                 C 
Well my heart said "yes" but my head said "no" 
       D                           G 
When the English colonel said "its time to go" 
 
Chorus 
                  D  Dsus4   Am 
He said "what's a few men?" 
                   C      Em 
said "what's a few men?" 
                  D  Dsus4   Am 
said "what's a few men?" 
                   C            D  
said "what's a few men?" 
 

Verse 2 
                     C 
The colonel's job is never done 
   D                             G 
So he declares time out on Christmas day 
                   C 
We held the enemy in our arms 
        D                          G 
And we ploughed each others dead into the clay 
                               C 
Oh the lord said that death will be no longer 
    D                          G 
And all of these things will pass away 
                               C 
There'll be no sorrow and there'll be no pain 
    D                               G 
And we'll swap cigarettes on Christmas day 
                                 C 
Well my heart said "yes" but my head said "no" 
       D                           G 
When the English colonel said "its time to go" 
 
Chorus  
 
Chords till outro end on 
G
