Masters Of War Chords

(ver. 2)
Pearl Jam
[Verse]
Em
Come you masters of war
Em
You that build the big guns
Em
You that build the death planes
Em
You that build all the bombs
Em
You that hide behind walls
Em
You that hide behind desks
Em                 G           D               Em
I just want you to know I can see through your masks

Em
You that never have done nothin' but build to destroy
Em
You play with my world like it's your little toy
Em
You put a gun in my hand then you hide from my eyes
Em                    G                D            Em
Then you turn and run farther when the fast bullets fly

[Verse]
Em
Like Judas of old you lie and deceive
Em
A world war can't be won, and you want me to believe
Em
But I see through your eyes and I see through your brain
Em                     G          D            Em
Like I see through the water that runs down my drain

Em
You that fasten all the triggers for the others to fire
Em
Then you sit back and watch while the death count gets higher
Em
You hide in your mansions while the young people's blood
Em                 G             D             Em
Flows out of their bodies and is buried in the mud

[Verse]
Em
You've thrown the worst fear that can ever be hurled
Em
Fear to bring children into the world
Em
For threatening my baby, unborn and unnamed
Em                  G          D             Em
You ain't worth the blood that runs in your veins

Em
How much do I know to talk out of turn
Em
You might say that I'm young, you might say I'm unlearned
Em
But there's one thing I know, though I'm younger than you
Em               G        D             Em
Even Jesus would never forgive what you do

[Verse]
Em
Let me ask you one question:  is your money that good?
Em
Will it buy you forgiveness?  Do you think that it could?
Em
I think you will find when your death takes its toll
Em                 G              D             Em
All the money you made won't ever buy back your soul

Em
And I hope that you die and your death will come soon
Em
I'll follow your casket through the pale afternoon
Em
And I'll watch while you're lowered into your death bed
Em                        G              D                Em
Then I'll stand over your grave till I'm sure that you're dead
