Em  G   Am      Em
Shadows lengthening
 D      Am    G       Em
Ninety-five steps I'm taking
     G      Am       Em
With every step I'm longing
D       Am       G   Em
For the luck to keep on living

Chorus:
      D   Am       G     Am
The drum calls me back again
 D     Am
To my senses
             Em
Filled with shame

Oh, that this night
Would never end
And on no-man's-land
The sun would not rise again

Chorus:
There was laughing,
and I could not laugh
There was singing,
and I could not sing

D            Am             Em
The big guns called me back again
D            Am             Em
The big guns called me back again
D            Am             Em
The big guns called me back again

I hear voices singing
I hear the guns beginning
Far off, far away

D Am             Em
I hear the guns again
D Am             Em
I hear the guns again
D Am             Em
I hear the guns again
