xStars: Up in Our Bedroom After the War
Its not a perfect chord transcription, but its pretty close and sounds great
played solo acoustically.
Capo on 4
INTRO: G Em x2
G Em C D
Wake up! Say good morning to that sleepy person lying next to you
Bm7 Em
If there's no one there, then there's no one there,
C D
but at least the war is over
G Em C D
It's us - yes, we're back again, here to see you through, 'til the days end
Bm7 Em
And if the night comes, and the night will come,
C D
well at least the war is over
Bm7 Em
Lift your head and look out the window
C D
Stay that way for the rest of the day and watch the time go
Am7 Em C D
Listen! The birds sing! Listen! The bells ring!
C D
All the living are dead, and the dead are all living
G Em
The war is over and we are beginning...
G Em C D
Gridlock on the parkway now, the television man is here to show you how
Bm7 Em
The channel fades to snow, it's off to work you go,
C D
but at least the war is over
G Em C D
She's gone, she left before you woke, as you ate last night, neither of you spoke
Bm7 Em
Dishes, tv, bed the darkness filled with dread,
C D
but at least the war is over
Bm7 Em
Lift your head and look out the window
C D
Stay that way for the rest of the day and watch the time go
Am7 Em C D
Listen! The birds sing! Listen! The bells ring!
C D
All the living are dead, and the dead are all living
C D
The war is over and we are beginning...
G Em C D
We won, or we think we did, when you went away, you were just a kid
Bm7 Em
And if you lost it all and you lost it,
C D
we will still be there when the war is over
Bm7 Em
Lift your head and look out the window
C D
Stay that way for the rest of the day and watch the time go
Am7 Em C D
Listen! The birds sing! Listen! The bells ring!
C D
All the living are dead, and the dead are all living
C D
The war is over and we are beginning...
G Em G Em
Here it comes! Here comes the first day! Here it comes! Here comes the first day!
{Repeat following lines until end}
C D
It starts up in our bedroom after the war,
C D
Up in our bedroom after the war,
G Em G Em
After the war! After the war...
