Intro: F, Am, F, G
F
Eight years ago on a summers night
Am
On the streets of L.A. was our first fight
F G
Turned out to be the first of many more
F
The country was all in up rise
Am
Who the blame and who to fight
F G
Who to kill and bomb
F
To settle the score
F
You said "My love, at times like these
Am
You don't dare question the president,"
F G
And I raised my voice to the girl I most adore
F
I said "I know it's hard for you to see
Am F
But I will not blindly follow one who blindly leads
G F
No matter what the cause."
F
Three thousand dead in NYC
Am F
And now three thousand more across the sea
G
No-one can tell me what for
F
And I'm not one to say I told you so
Am
But time has passed, and now we know
F G F
That honey, I was right about the war
Em (let ring)
Rich man's chess game is called "a war"
C (let ring) D (let ring)
And the pawns they use are named "the poor"
And no-one ever wins
F
And I say for shame on anyone
Am
Who orders young men to shoot a gun
F G
For these gods you all kill and die so easily for
F
My dear, the end is coming soon
Am
Not for the Earth, but for me and you
F G F
And every other soul who shares the world
F G F
Kill a million men, but ideas will still endure
F G F
People were not meant to shoot for sport
C (let ring) D (let ring) G (let ring)
God dammit, I was right about the war
