[Verse 1]
Dm                                               A7
I was only just fifteen, when I took a shilling from the king,
            Dm                          F                A7
And the Quartermaster winked at me, he knew I'd lied a - bout my age,
    Dm                                          A7
I learnt to take apart my gun, and feel tobacco in my lungs,
    F         C        Dm      A7         Dm
And we would roll our cigar - ettes with Bible pages!


[Verse 2]
    Dm                                                    A7
And as we marched up to the line, 'knew we'd be back by winter time,
    Dm                                       F                 A7
But we soon learnt only the blind... could find their way back home,
    Dm                                          A7
And all through Deuteronomy, I cursed whatever had made me,
    F         C        Dm      A7         Dm
And we would roll our cigar - ettes with Bible pages!


[Chorus]
Gm                                      Dm
    There's no heaven, there's no hell,     not as far as I can tell,
Gm                                     A7                A7  A7/G  A7/F A7/E
    There's no Devil, there's no God, only men and mud! | /   /    /    /  |


[Verse 3]
 Dm                                                        A7
When the brass would come around, we'd stand our feet sunk in the ground,
       Dm                                            F             A7
They'd say we'd made our country proud, but their England was not mine,
    Dm                                              A7
And we must be prepared to die, but they forgot to tell us why,
    F         C        Dm      A7         Dm
And we would roll our cigar - ettes with Bible pages!


[Chorus]
Gm                                      Dm
    There's no heaven, there's no hell,     not as far as I can tell,
Gm                                     A7                A7  A7/G  A7/F A7/E
    There's no Devil, there's no God, only men and mud! | /   /    /    /  |


[Verse 4]
Dm                                                         A7
I'd not long turned seventeen, when I took the one that finished me,
       Dm                                 F               A7
And I must have lain so peacefully, be - neath the broken sky,
    Dm                                              A7
And so they took my life away, and what would the Chaplain say,
        F       C          Dm     A7         Dm
If he knew we rolled our cigar - ettes with Bible pages,
        F      C        Dm      A7        Dm
All we had to roll our cigar - ettes was Bible pages!
