It's not 100% correct, but it's a lot closer to the recording than the other tab on here.
It should be pretty easy, so I hope you get it quickly and enjoy playing it.
Note: The F# is not an F# chord, just the note (E string, second fret).
CAPO II
Chords: G, F#, A, D, Bm, F, Em
G A D
Mother you saw my eyes
G F# D
On the fourth of July
G A D
Under a banner of roman candles
G A Bm
Mother war is kind
G A D
Like hell but I am fine
Brother have you gone west
Have you followed through once yet
You are still younger how dare you forget
Brother war is best
In the morning when you've had rest
G
Like a lost dog between houses
D
In the unknown open country
F
Line up at dawn to see who's missing
Em
My age is a metaphor
D A
It only speaks of everything before
Daughter you wear my name
Those are my eyes keep 'em raised
I may have scars but I give more than I take
Daughter war is safe
Where you are far away
Lover are you gone
My heart has taken too much on
One octave lower than thunder it drums
lover war is done
In more ways than just one
Like a lost dog between houses
In the unknown open country
Like an outlaw now standing
At the foot of infinity
The sun is wild
And just in front of me
This is the short melodic part after the chorus. Listen to see how he picks out the
between chords.
