This song is played in Standart Tuning and im sure, that this is 100% correct.
It's a very simple song.
Here are the Chords you gonna need:
E A D g b e
C 0 3 2 0 1 0

G 3 2 0 0 3 3
G* 3 5 5 4 3 3
For the Intro rythm, just plug the Bass string, folowed by a Down Up Stroke
Important! On the F Chord, you have to plug the 3 fret of the D String (high F
root) as Bass(Intro only). In this Case, you can play the F alternative wich is shown above.
Intro: C C/B Am F C/B C (2X)
The strumming pattern is changing now. Watch the song on youtube to get this. (Not that hard)

Em
Wearin' wool sunglasses in the afternoon

It's a battle when you dabble in war
You stole it up,

Unleash it,
Then piece it together

F G* C
and who needs peace when we've gone above
C C/B Am
but beyond where we've should've gone
F G C
we went beyond where we should've gone
VERSE 2 (Exactly played like Verse 1) :
Stuck between channels my thoughts all quit
i Thought about them too much
allowed them to touch
the feelings of rain down on the planes
all dried and cracked
waiting for things that never came
well such a shocking thing to make somebody think
they have to choose pushin for peace
suportin the troops
and either your weak
or you use brute force feed
truth is say not as we do
ya say anytime, anywhere
just show your teeth
and strike a fear
God wears camouflage
cries at night
and drives a dodge, pick up
the beat, stop hoggin the feast
thats no way to treat an enemy
Mighty, mighty appetite
we'll just em up
and keep on drivin'
freedom can't be freezed
take a picture from the pretty side
min d your manner
wave your banners
what a wonderful world this angle can see
CHORUS (again) (exactly played like shown above)
This Part comes after the Chrous.
(Strumming pattern is changing again completly)
It goes like: Down Up Hit Up Down Up Hit (Happy sounding strumming)
C

F

Tao Te Ching and Mohammed
C
Why do people say
that there is just one way to
F
love you God i come to you

C

you are and you are not
F
you are all and you are non
every end or just begun
C
