[Intro]
D5
[Chorus]
D
I've known no war
And if I ever do I won't know for sure
Who'll be fighting whom
G/D
For the soldiers lonely tomb
C G D A F C D A
Now opens as soon as the referee's gun starts to roar
[Post-Chorus]
D G Am C
I've known no war
D G Am C
No I've never known war
[Verse 1]
D
Galbraith took his pen
G
To break down the men
Am C
Of the German army defeated
D
On the nineteenth day
G
Of a spring day in May
Am C
Albert Speer was deleted
G Am
And as soon as the battle was over
Bm C
I was born in victorious clover
D Em
And I've never been shot at or gassed
F G
Never tortured or stabbed
Dm C D A D
And I'm sure, I'll never know war
[Chorus 2]
G D
No, I'll never know war
G
Oh no no
D
I know I'll never know war
G
And if I ever do
The glimpse will be short
D
Fireball in the sky
G
No front line battle cries
C G D A
Can be heard as the button is pushed
F C D A
By a soul that's been bought
[Post-Chorus 2]
D G Am C
I'll know no war........ No!
D G Am C
I'll know no war
[Verse 2]
D
In and out of reach loft
G
The medals are lost
Am C
They belong to a lone broken sailor
D
His provinces now
G
Are the bars of the town
Am C
His songs and his poems of failure
G Am
For his grandchildren can't see the glory
Bm C
And his own kids are bored with the story
D Em
But for him they'd have burned behind netting
F G
From the brink they were grabbed
Dm C D A D
And I'm sure, I'll never know war
[Chorus 3]
G
I'll never know war
D
I've known no war
And if I ever do I won't know for sure
Who'll be fighting whom

For the soldiers lonely tomb

Now opens as soon as the referee's gun starts to roar
D
I've known no war

No front line battle cries
C G D G
Can be heard as the button is pushed
F C D A
By a soul that's been bought
C G D A F C
And the armies remaining will judge without people or courts

I'll know no war
