[Intro]

Verse 
        C                      F  C                           G 
And you say that the battle is o- ver, finally the war is all done 
                                                                              C   F 
Go tell it to those with the wind in their nose who run from the sound of the gun 

    C                            F             C                                         F 
And write it on the sides of the great whaling ships or on ice floes where conscience is tossed 
                                   C                     G                       C    F C 
With the wild in their eyes, it is they who must die and we who must measure the loss | 

        C                      F  C                            G 
And you say that the battle is o- ver, finally the world is at peace 
                                                                              C 
You mean no one is dying and mothers don't weep, or it's not in the papers at least 

          C                           F           C 
There are those who would deal in the darkness of life 
                                        F 
There are those who would tear down the sun 
                              C 
And most men are ruthless but some will still weep 
         G                       F      Dm Am G Am C 
When the gifts we were given are gone | | | 

        C                        F          C                                   G 
For the blame cannot fall on the heads of a few, it's become such a part of the race 
                                                                               C     F 
It's eternally tragic that which is magic be killed at the end of the glorious chase 

                                      F 
They will fall just like weeds in the wind 
                                C 
With fur coats and perfumes and trophies on walls 
       G                      F   G Am C F Em Dm 
What a hell of a race to call men | | | 

        C                      F     C                      G 
And you say that the battle is over, finally the war is all done 
                                                                              C   F 
Go tell it to those with the wind in their nose who run from the sound of the gun 

    C                            F             C                                         F 
And write it on the sides of the great whaling ships or on ice floes where conscience is tossed 
                                   C                     G                       C    F 
With the wild in their eyes, it is they who must die and we who must measure the loss 
                                   C                     G                       C    F C 
With the wild in their eyes, it is they who must die and we who must measure the cost
