Letter From Iraq Chords

(ver. 1)
Bouncing Souls
So I decided that this song would sound cool on acoustic.
And this is how I play it. You can find a good intro on the other tabs
but none of them showed any of the rest of the song. This sounds good 
to me, either with D and E as bar chords or open chords, watever u prefer. Great song 
no matter what, hopefully these chords can get u started.

Standard Tuning.

The hot Sunni sun 
F#

passes Moaning Mosque Spire.
D               E

B-company's pinned down
F#                 D

and under heavy fire.
E                   D

Underneath the palms
D

there's improvised bombs.
E

Because Jihad Johnny
F#

Knows- Yankee is a liar.
D        E          D


[Chorus]
An eye for an eye.
D   E          F#

And blood for Texas Tea.
                     D
 
At the call to prayer
        E       

Al Queda's on his knees.
    F#

Isac vs. Ishmael. 
D        E

Allah vs. Christ.
F#        D

Zarqawi's on the offense 
D        

picking up the beat.
E               F#



There's celebratory fire
And a purple thumb vote.
Tom cruise is on a sortie
Smart bombs are a coming, 
See the children running.
The dead are all laughing, 
But we don't get the joke.



They lost another friend today.
It's getting rough over there.
They say the whole things f**ked.
I wish the boys were back.
At least I know they're still alive.
Another letter from Iraq.


Presents full of Christmas loot.
All that's left of Bullet Billy- 
is a pair of bloody boots. 
His mom is on the phone,
His girl is all alone.
We all stand in the rain 
for a twenty-one gun salute.
