      Ebm                                         
Ohhh, war, I despise  Because it means destruction
Ebm                               
Of innocent lives  War means tears

Ebm                               
Life is much to short and precious

War, it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
Eb5              F#                  
War, friend only    to the undertaker
