play "next bit" again 4 times then into verses

the verses are all played solely in the 6th string in

the same rhythm as "next bit"



1 Bodies  fill  the  fields   I   see

2 Barking    of    machine    gun   fire         does

3 Life  planned  out  before  my  birth

E|0--0-0-0--0--0--0--0-0-0-0-|0--0-0-0--0--0--0-0-0-0-|



  hungry   heroes   end.

  nothing   to  me  now

  nothing  could  I  say.

E|3--3-3-3--3--3--3--3-3-3-3-|2--2-2-2--2--2--2-2-2-2-|



  No one   to   play   soldier   now,

  Sounding   of   the   clock   that   ticks       get

  Had   no   chance   to   see   myself

E|0--0-0-0--0--0--0--0-0-0-0-|0--0-0-0--0--0--0-0-0-0-|



  no one   to   pretend.

  used   to   it  somehow.

  moulded   day   by   day.

E|3--3-3-3--3--3--3--3-3-3-3-|7--7-7-7--7--7--7-7-7-7-|



the second half of each verse follows the same pattern



Running blind through killing fields,

bred to kill them all.

Victim of what said should be,

a servant till I fall

Back to the front. You will do what I say, when I say.

Back to the front. You will die when I say you must die.

Back to the front. You coward, you servant, you blind man.

then with rhythm figure 2:

Why...  am I dying?   Kill...  have no fear.

Lie...  live off lying.  Hell...  hell is here.



then a big solo mostly played over E5 with occaisionally a C5 and maybe a D5



then with rhythm figure 2 again:

Why...  am I dying?   Kill...  have no fear.

Lie...  live off lying.  Hell...  hell is here.

                         I was born for dying....
