"Holy War"

           Em                       G
I've spent 20 years learning to live
     Am                    Em
In a world that takes back all that it gives
      C             D
But I do not want a war

(Same for verse two)

               Em    G   C     D
'cause I'm not in for killing another man
Em   G   C         D
      Defending my holy land
   Em           G             C    D
As if there's a god who would understand

(Verse 3 - same pregression as Verses 1 and 2)

(Chorus 2 - same as 1)

C - -- Em
                         Feeding the promised land

(I'm sure if he just changes his bass strings like C-B-A-G-E, or if he
changes the entire chord as in C-G-Am-G-Em....anyway, he starts with C
and ends with Em!)

C - -- Em
                         With your blood by my own hand
C
At Allah's own command
D
At Allah's own command


Lyrics:

I've spent twenty years learning to live
In a world that takes back all that it gives
But I do not want a war

I don't know what's going on
In the scenes behind
I worry about it some of the time
And I hope there's not a war

'Cause I'm not in for killing another man
Defending my holy land
As if there's a god who would understand

And I would walk across highways
To find my fate
If that might settle your crude debate
But I do not want a war

'Cause I'm not in for killing another man
Defending my holy land
As if there's a god who would understand

Feeding the promised land
With your blood by my own hand
At allah's own command
At allah's own command

I came up from the desert and here I will die
Tooth for tooth and an eye for an eye
Though I didn't want a war

I went in for killing another man
Defending my holy land
As if there's a god who would understand
As if there's a god who would understand
I went in for killing another man
Defending my holy land
As if there's a god who would understand
As if there's a god who would understand
Oh yeah...
