Chords are the same throughout the whole song except at the end.
Timing is slightly different every other time you play the 4 chord progression.
Intro: G, Em, C, D
G
Eight years ago on a summers night
Em
On the streets of L.A. was our first fight
C D
Turned out to be the first of many more
G
The country was all in up rise
Em
Who the blame and who to fight
C D
Who to kill and bomb
G
To settle the score
G
You said "My love, at times like these
Em
You don't dare question the president,"
C D
And I raised my voice to the girl I most adore
G
I said "I know it's hard for you to see
Em C
But I will not blindly follow one who blindly leads
D G
No matter what the cause."
G
Three thousand dead in NYC
Em C
And now three thousand more across the sea
D
No-one can tell me what for
G
And I'm not one to say I told you so
Em
But time has passed, and now we know
C D G
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
G
And I say for shame on anyone
Em
Who orders young men to shoot a gun
C D
For these gods you all kill and die so easily for
G
My dear, the end is coming soon
Em
Not for the Earth, but for me and you
C D G
And every other soul who shares the world
C D G
Kill a million men, but ideas will still endure
C D G
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
