Island Of No Return Chords

 
[Intro]
Em  G Am Em  G  Em
G  Em  G
 
 
[Verse 1]
Am                   C
Digging all day and digging all night
   Em
To keep my foxhole out of sight
D                        C
Digging into dinner on a plate on my knees
Em
The smell of damp webbing in the morning breeze
Am                  C
Fear in my stomach, fear in the sky
  Em
I eat my dinner with a weary eye
Am                      C
After all this it won't be the same
Em                          G     D C  D G  D C D
Messing around on Salisbury Plain
 
 
[Chorus]
G
Pick up your feet, fall in, move out
      C
We're going to a party way down South
G
Me and the Corporal out on a spree
C                   D     Em  Am C Em  Am C
Damned from here to eternity
 
 
[Bridge]
Em                                       Am C
I can already taste the blood in my mouth?
Em                              Am C
We're going to a party way down South
 
 
[Interlude]
Em  G  Em  G  Em  G
 
 
[Verse 2]
  D                    C
I hate this flat land, there's no cover
    Em
For sons and fathers and brothers and lovers
      D                       C
I can take the killing, I can take the slaughter
    Em
But I don't talk to Sun reporters
  D                  C
I never thought that I would be
G        Em
Fighting fascists in the Southern Sea
  Am                C
I saw one today and in his hand
      Em                            G D  C D G D C D
Was a weapon that was made in Birmingham
 
 
[Chorus]
G                       D
Pick up your feet, fall in, move out
      C                    D
We're going to a party way down South
G                   D
Me and the Corporal out on a spree
C                    D     Em  Am C Em  Am C
Damned from here to eternity
 
 
[Bridge]
Em                                       Am C
I can already taste the blood in my mouth?
Em                              Am C Em
We're going to a party way down South
 
 
[Interlude]
G  Em  G  Em  G  Em
G
 
 
[Chorus]
       Em                      G
I wish Kipling and the Captain were here
     D                        C
To record our pursuits for posterity
Em                  G
Me and the Corporal out on a spree
D                C      Em G  Em  G
Damned from here to eternity
 
 
[Outro]
Em  G  Em  G  Em  G
Em  G  Em  G  Em  G
Em  C  Em
