Holy War  Matthew Sweet



I've spent [Em]20 years learning to live[G]
In a [Am]world that takes back [Em]all that it gives
But I [C]do not want a [D]war
(Same for verse two)

'cause I'm not [Em]in for[G] kil[C]ling a[D]nother man
[Em]     [G] Def[C]ending my [D]holy land
As [Em]if there's a [G]god who would [C]under[D]stand

(Verse 3 - same progression as Verses 1 and 2)

(Chorus 2 - same as 1)

[C]  [-]  [--]   [Em]                  Feeding the promised land

(I'm sure if he just changes his bass strings like C-B-A-G-E, or if he
changes the entire chord as in C-G-Am-G-Em....anyway, he starts with C
and ends with Em!)

[C]  [-]  [--]   [Em]                  With your blood by my own hand
[C]At Allah's own command
[D]At Allah's own command

Lyrics:

I've spent twenty years learning to live
In a world that takes back all that it gives
But I do not want a war

I don't know what's going on
In the scenes behind
I worry about it some of the time
And I hope there's not a war

'Cause I'm not in for killing another man
Defending my holy land
As if there's a god who would understand

And I would walk across highways
To find my fate
If that might settle your crude debate
But I do not want a war

'Cause I'm not in for killing another man
Defending my holy land
As if there's a god who would understand

Feeding the promised land
With your blood by my own hand
At allah's own command
At allah's own command

I came up from the desert and here I will die
Tooth for tooth and an eye for an eye
Though I didn't want a war

I went in for killing another man
Defending my holy land
As if there's a god who would understand
As if there's a god who would understand
I went in for killing another man
Defending my holy land
As if there's a god who would understand
As if there's a god who would understand
Oh yeah...
