||: Dm G | Dm G | Dm G | Dm G :|| Dm G Dm G A butcher, yes that was my trade F Bbadd9 F A But a king's schilling is now my fee Dm G Dm G But a butcher I guess I should have stayed F G A For the slaughter that I see And the preacher in his pulpit Says "go and fight, do what is right" But the preacher doesn't hear these guns So I guess he sleeps at night Am Dm Dm7/C And aye, my mind keeps on shaking Dm6/B Bbmaj7 My eye keeps on shaking Dm Dm7/C My heart keeps on shaking Dm6/B Bb My hand keeps on shaking Dm My arms keep on shaking Am G I want to go home F Eb Please let me go home D Go home | Dm G | Dm G | Dm G | Dm G | I have seen a friend of mine hang on a wire like some rag doll And in the heat the flies come down and cover up the boy And the heat comes down in Dunpresskeep in Richburgdon and Governor's Bluff If the priest he could go and see the flies Wouldn't pray for the sound of guns And aye, my mind can't stop shaking My hands can't stop shaking My eye can't stop shaking My heart can't stop shaking I want to go home Please let me go home Go home.
