Topic: Civil War
Hi
A sombre number here. Not sure how it will go down.
I have tried to simplify chords progression from the original as the way I play it normally would require Tabs and I’m certainly not going to bored Chordians with that.
Originally wrote about the Bosnia Conflict (remember that one ) a few years back now.
The lyrics I think could apply to any civil conflict in the world today and the futility of it all.
The Dsus2/F# chord in the third line of the Chorus is played 2XX23X (ignore the grid)
Moderately slow.
Anyway see what you think.
Regards
Ark

[Em] Drifting away like [C] the clouds in the sky.
[Am] The smoke clears the battle [Em] field.
[Em] This was once my home [C] the place I was born.
[Am] Now it’s only rubble and [Em] ruin.
Chorus
[C] When will we [D] hear the voice of [Em] peace.
[C] Whenwill we [D] listen tothe voice of [Em]reason.
[C] When will we [D] realise [G] that war[Dsus2/F#] is not [Em] the way.
[C] When [D] Oh when [Em] will we learn.

[Em] Friends I grew up with [C] are now called my enemies.
[Am] and now we are so far [Em] apart.
[Em] Hate has replaced [C] allmy feelings.
[Am] and to kill has become common [Em] place.
Chorus

[Em] There was a time when I was [C] happy and carefree.
[Am] Only just dreaming of what my life would [Em] turn out to be.
[Em] Now I lay on the groundwith a [C] rifle in my hand.
[Am] Fighting for what we call our [Em] home land.
Chorus

[Em] The land I once worked is all [C] pitted and scared .
[Am] My life will never be [Em] the same.
[Em] My family is scattered [C] to the four winds.
[Am] I see no end [Em] in sight.
Chorus
