Gently Gently

	  		 

 

C 
Gently gently  
                Dm        
Don't you let it break  
     C 
Be careful darling  
      F 
For goodness sake  

You're so awful awful  
Awfully quiet these days  
But no vow of silence  
Is going to make your case  

G 
Convince me I'm not bored  
Em 
Convince me I'm not bored  
Am                  C 
Convince me I'm not  

Killer killer  
I've got blood to spill  
This loathsome heart  
It has had it fill  

Pressure pressure  
Precious weight upon my shoulder  
I won't put you back  
I won't let you go  

I've got hand to hold  
These hands  
I've got hands to hold  
Hold these hands  

Quickly quickly  
With Godspeed fly to me  
Let him turn his back  
And just leave us be  

Soldier soldier  
Why would you wage that kind of war  
Now your tired feet  
They can march no more  

G 
Cut off at the knees  
Em 
Cut off at the knees  
Am 
Cut off at the knees  
         C 
Cut off
