B5/E D5/A B5/E C5 D5 x2

Verse 1:
Em       D        Em    C D
 I've looked into the heart of darkness
Em     D         Em  C Am
 Where the blood-red journey ends
Em      D         Em    C D
 When you've faced the heart of darkness
Em     D       Em  C Am
 Even your soul begins to bend

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

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

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

Riff:
Em  G   Am  C D  x3

Bridge 1:
Em              Em
 I know, captain, that you've done this work before
G D               Bm       C D
  We've got a problem, you can help us all I'm sure
Em                 Em
 The colonel's gone rogue, and his methods are unsound
G D           C        D
  You'll take a PBR up river track him down...

Riff:
Em  G   C   D

Bridge 2:
Em           Em
 There's a conflict in every human heart
G D             Bm       C D
  And the temptation is to take it all to far
Em      Em
 In this war things get so confused
G D                Bm     C D
  But there are some things which cannot be excused

Bridge 3:
Em              Em
 He's acting like a God - an insane lunatic
G D                Bm      C D
  Your mission - exterminate with extreme prejudice
Em                Em
 The route is dangerous and your progress may be slow
G D             C    D
  Here is the file and it's all you need to know...

Riff:
Em  G   Am  C D  x2
           Oo'ooh...

Pre-chorus:
Em      G
Here I am the knife in my hand
    Am          C      D
And now I understand why the genius must die

Chorus 1:
Em   D         Em    C D
 Now I stand alone in the darkness
Em    D       Em  C Am
 With his blood upon my hands
Em       D      Em  C D
 Where sat the warrior the poet
Em      C       D  C D
 Now lie the fragments of a man

(clean picking)

Chorus 2:
Em       D        Em    C D
 I've looked into the heart of darkness
Em     D         Em  C Am
 Where the blood-red journey ends
Em      D         Em  C D
 When you've faced the heart of darkness
Em     C       D  C D
 Even your soul begins to bend

Outro:
Em       D        Em
 I've looked into the heart of darkness...
