[Intro 1]
[Am][E][Am][F][G][Em][E][Em][F]
[Am][Ebm][E]

[Verse 1]
As [Am]the drum roll started on that day
Heard a hundred miles away
A million shells were fired
And [E]the green fields turned to grey
The [Am]bombardment lasted all day long
Yet the forts were standing strong
Heavily defended
Now [F]the trap's been sprung and
the [C]battle has [G]begun[Dm]

[Verse 2]
[Dm]Descend into [E]darkness[Dm]
[F]303 days below [G]the sun
Fields of [Am]Verdun,

[Verse 3]
[F]and the bat[G]tle has beg[Em]un
Nowhere to [F]run, father [Am]and son
Fall one by [Dm]one under [E]the gun
Thy will [Am]be done (thy will b[F]e done), and
the [G]judgement has [Em]begun
Nowhere to [F]run, father [Am]and son
Fall one by [Ebm]one, fields o[B]f V[E]erdun
Though [Am]a million

[Verse 4]
shells
have scarred the land
No one has the upper hand
From the ground above to trenches
Where the sol[E]diers make their stand
As [Am]the trenches slowly turn to mud
And then quickly start to flood
Death awaits in every corner
As [F]they die in the mud,
fill [C]the trenches [G]with [Dm]blood

[Verse 5]
[Dm]Descend into [E]darkness[Dm]
303 days [F]below [G]the sun
Fields of [Am]Verdun,

[Verse 6]
[F]and the bat[G]tle has beg[Em]un
Nowhere [F]to run, father [Am]and son
Fall one by [Dm]one under the [E]gun
Thy will be [Am]done (thy will [F]be done), and
[G]the judgement has [Em]begun
Nowhere to [F]run, father [Am]and son
Fall one by [Ebdim]one, fields of V[B]erd[E]un

[Interlude 1]
[Am]

[Verse 7]
[Am]Fields of execu[F]tion turned to
[G]wasteland from the [Am]grass
[F]Thou shalt go no [Am]fur ther it was said,
[C]"They shall not pas[E]s!"
[F]The spirit of [C]resistance and
the [G]madness of the [C]war
So go [Dm]ahead, [C]face the lead,
[G]join the dead
[Am]Though you die where you lie,
never [E]asking why

[Interlude 2]

[Am][F][G][F][G]
[Dm]

[Verse 8]
[Dm]Descend into [E]darkness[Dm]
[F]303 days below [G]the sun
Fields of [Am]Verdun,

[Verse 9]
[F]and the bat[G]tle has beg[Em]un
Nowhere to [F]run, father [Am]and son
Fall one by [Dm]one under the [E]gun
Thy will be [Am]done (thy will [F]be done), and
[G]the judgement has [Em]begun
Nowhere [F]to run, father and son
[Am]Fall one by one,[Ebm] fields of Verdu[E]n
