[Intro]
G D Am Em C D Em
Here lies poor John, John from Aberdeen,
G D Am Em
He gave his life for King and Country,
C D Em
Only seventeen;
Em
[Verse 1]
Em D Em
Well the Generals sat down with their Port and a bottle of wine,
G D
"We have a problem here right now,
Em
And we're running out of time,
C G C
This madman of a Leader keeps changing our battle plans,
G D C D Em
And the King said he wants no more of this troublesome man";
[Verse 2]
Em D
So they called for the Captain and told him,
Em G
"We need a volunteer; our Leader is a traitor,
D Em
And he must be gone from here;
C G C
A simple execution, but nothing can be seen."
G D C D G
So they gave the job to John from Aberdeen;
[Chorus]
C G D G
And he said, "Oh no, it must be done,
C G D G
Justice coming from the barrel of a gun;
C G D Em C
Oh no what can I do, someone has to pull the trigger,
D G Em
Blame it on the Chain of Command,
C
I will have to pull the trigger,
D G Em
Blame it on the Chain of Command!"
[Verse 3]
Em D Em
Right then at the killing poor John was taken by surprise,
G D Em
And they told him in prison "Your story is a pack of lies!"
