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