Chain Of Command

G     D    Am    Em   C        
Here lies poor John, John from 
 D      Em
Aberdeen,
    G        D       Am    
He gave his life for King and 
    Em
Country,
C   D      Em
Only seventeen;

[Verse 1]
           Em                  
Well the Generals sat down with 
        D                   Em
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                     
This madman of a Leader keeps 
  G                    C
changing our battle plans,
         G             D       C 
And the King said he wants no 
           D           Em
more of this troublesome man";


[Verse 2]
          Em                       
So they called for the Captain and 
 D
told him,
            Em              G
"We need a volunteer; our Leader is 
a traitor,
        D                  Em
And he must be gone from here;
    C                      G      
A simple execution, but nothing 
       C
can be seen."
          G       D       C       
So they gave the job to John from 
 D      G
Aberdeen;

[Chorus]
              C   G      D   
And he said, "Oh no, it must be 
     G
done,
C        G                D     
Justice coming from the barrel 
     G
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    
Blame it on the Chain of Command!"
     Em



[Verse 3]
       Em                        D
Right then at the killing poor 
                   Em
John was taken by surprise,
          G                      
And they told him in prison "Your 
   D                  Em
story is a pack of lies!"
         C
And the General said in the 
Courtroom,
          G                C
"For this murder you will pay,
           G        D           C
You'll be shot at dawn, do you 
       D        G         Gm   F 
have anything to say?"
  Gm  Gm   F



[Bridge]
                      Gm
And John said "I was only following 
orders,
       F                Gm
And I knew that it was wrong,
     Cm
But what else could I do?
     D
And now my life has gone."


[Chorus]
C   G        D      G
Oh no, what has he done,
    C        G           D       
He killed a man with a bullet 
     G
from a gun,
C   G         D       Em  C
Oh no, what could he do, someone had
 to pull the trigger,
D                           G
Blame it on the Chain of Command;
      C  G       D         G
Oh Oh Oh no, it has been done,
C        G               D      
Justice coming from the barrel 
     G
of a gun,
C   G        D        Em
Oh no, what could he do?
C
Someone had to pull the trigger,
D                             G   
Blame it on the Chain of Command!
 G/F#  Em

C
Someone had to pull the trigger,
D                              G
Blame it on the Chain of Command!"
