Mark Seymour – What’s A Few Men Chords

The Colonel said “These bodies stink”.
“Won’t someone come and drag them away”.
We tried to clean em’ out but the more I stare.
And the English Colonel looks the other way.
Oh, the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.
Well, I ran for the trench but I’d no time to speak.
Well, my heart said “Yes” but my head said ”No”
When the English colonel said “Its time to go”

He said “What’s a few men?”
Said “What’s a few men?”
Said “What’s a few men?”
Said “What’s a few men?”

The Colonel’s job is never done.
So he declares time out on Christmas day.
We held the enemy in our arms.
And we ploughed each other’s dead into the clay.
Oh, the Lord said that death will be no longer
And all of these things will pass away
There’ll be no sorrow and there’ll be no pain.
And we’ll swap cigarettes on Christmas day
Well, my heart said “Yes” but my head said ”No”
When the English colonel said “Its time to go”

He said “What’s a few men?”
Said “What’s a few men?”
Said “What’s a few men?”
Said “What’s a few men?”
Said “What’s a few men?”
Said “What’s a few men?”
