For The Greater Good Of God Chords

(ver. 1)
Iron Maiden
[Intro]
 
Em Am Em
Em
 
 
[Verse]
 
Em        C
Are you a man of peace
G           D
Or a man of holy war?
Em       C
Too many sides to you
      G             D
Don't know which anymore
Em      C
So many full of life
    G                D
But also filled with pain
Em              C
Don't know just how many
     G                D
Will live to breathe again
Em            C
A life that's made to breathe
    G            D
Destruction or defense
Em            C
A mind that's vain corruption
G             D
Bad or good intent
Em        C
A wolf in sheep's clothing
   G             D
Or saintly or sinner
Em           C
Or some that would believe
  G           D
A holy war winner
 
 
Em            C
They fire off many shots
    G            D
And many parting blows
Em              C
Their actions beyond a reasoning
G              D
Only God would know
Em        C
And as he lies in heaven
   G              D
Or it could be in hell
Em          C
I feel he's somewhere here
   G              D
Or looking from below
            Am            C    D
But I don't know, I don't know
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em
Please tell me now what life is
C                       G       D
Please tell me now what love is
Em
Well, tell me now what war is
Am                  C       D
Again, tell me what life is
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Em            C             G             D
More pain and misery in the history of mankind
Em           C                   G                 D
Sometimes it seems more like the blind leading the blind
Em         C              G                 D
It brings upon us more of famine, death and war
Em         C            G             D
You know religion has a lot to answer for
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
Em
Please tell me now what life is
C                       G       D
Please tell me now what love is
Em
Well, tell me now what war is
Am                  C       D
Again, tell me what life is
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
Em          C                  G             D
And as they search to find the bodies in the sand
Em            C              G                    D
They find its ashes that are scattered across the land
Em         C               G              D
And as the spirits seem to whistle on the wind
Em        C                G            D
A shot is fired somewhere another war begins
Em        C                 G                   D
And all because of it you'd think that we would learn
Em            C              G          D
But still the body count the city fires burn
Em                C             G            D
Somewhere there's someone dying in a foreign land
Em            C                  G         D
Meanwhile the world is crying stupidity of man
        Am
Tell me why?
        C
Tell me why?
 
 
[Chorus 3]
 
Em
Please tell me now what life is
C                       G       D
Please tell me now what love is
Em
Well, tell me now what war is
Am                  C       D
Again, tell me what life is
 
Em
Please tell me now what life is
C                       G       D
Please tell me now what love is
Em
Well, tell me now what war is
Am                  C       D
Again, tell me what life is

[Coda]
 
Em          C
He gave his life for us
   G             D
He fell upon the cross
Em         C
To die for all of those
    G               D
Who never mourn his loss
Em        C
It wasn't meant for us
   G              D
To feel the pain again
        Am
Tell me why?
        C    D Em
Tell me why?
