[Intro 1]
[E][G#][E][G][E]
[Em][E][Em][D][Em][E][Em][E][Em]
[D][Em][E][Em][E][Em][D][Em][E][Em]
[D][G][D][Em][E][Em][E][Em]
[D][Em][C][D][Em][E][Em][D][Em][C][D]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
I've looked [D]into [Em]the heart of da[C]rkness[D][Em]
Where the [D]blood red journey
[Em]ends[C][Am][Em]
When you've [D]faced the heart of
[Em]dark[C]ness[D][Em]
Even your [D]soul begins to bend
[Em][C][Am][Em]

[Verse 2]
For a [D]week I have been [Em]waiting[C][D]
[Em]Still I am only [D]in Saigon[Em][C][Am][Em]
The walls move [D]in a little [Em]closer[C][D][Em]
I feel the [C]jungle call me [D]on
[C][Cm][D]

[Verse 3]
[Em]
Every [D]minute I get [Em]weaker[C][D][Em]
While in the [D]jungle they grow
[Em]strong[C][Am][Em]
What I [D]wanted was a mis[Em]sion[C][D][Em]
And for my [D]sins they gave
me one
[Em][C][Am]

[Verse 4]
[Em]
They brought it [D]up just like
room [Em]service[C][D][Em]
'Cause every[D]one gets what
they [Em]want[C][Am][Em]
And when that [D]mission was
all [Em]over[C][D][Em]
I'd never [C]want another one
[D]Oh [C]oh [D]oh[Em][G][Am][C][D][Em]
[G]

[Interlude 1]
[C][D][Em][G][Am][C][D][Em]

[Verse 5]
I know Captain that [Em]you've
done this work [G]before
[D]We've got a problem you
can [B]help us I [C]am sure[D]
[Em]The Colonel's gone rogue
And his methods are unsound
[D]You'll take a PBR up riv[B]er,
track [C]him down[D][Em]
[G][C][D]

[Verse 6]
[Em]
There's a conflict in every human heart
[D]And the temptation is to [B]take
it all too [C]far[Am][Em]
In this war things get so [G]confused
[D]But there are some things which
[B]cannot be ex[C]cused[D]

[Verse 7]
[Em]He's acting like a God,
an insane [D]lunatic
Your mission,
terminate with [B]extreme pre[C]ju [D]dice
[Em]Your route is dangerous and
your progress may [G]be slow
[D]Here is the file and it's all[B] you nee[D]d
to [Em]know[G][Am][A][Am][A][C]
[D]Oh [Em]oh oh[G], [Am]oh oh[C][D][Em][D][Bm]
[D]oh[Em]

[Interlude 2]

[D]

[Verse 8]
[Em]Here I am the [G]knife in my hand
And now [Am]I understa[D]nd why
the [C]genius must [D]die[Em]

[Verse 9]
Now I [D]stand alone in [Em]darkness[C][D][Em]
With his [D]blood upon my [Em]hands[C][Am]
[Em]Where sat the warr[D]ior, the poet[Em][C][D]
[Em]Now lie the frag[C]ments
of a man
[D][C][D]

[Verse 10]
[Em]
I've looked in[D]to the heart
of [Em]darkness[C][D][Em]
Where the [D]blood red journey
[Em]ends[C][Am][Em]
When you've [D]faced the heart
[Em]of darkness[C][D][Em]
Even your [C]soul begins to [D]bend[C][D][Em]
I've looked [D]into the heart of [Em]darkness
