INTRO: E MajorE A augmentedA (x3)


verse 1

    E MajorE
I feel sorry for the soldier who is shot and stoned in anger
    A augmentedA                E MajorE
I feel sorry for his wife and child at home
    E MajorE
I feel sorry for the bomber who all life and limb dishonors
    A augmentedA                E MajorE
For the people that he's maimed and left alone


     G+G
The Lord God said, "Love thy neighbor
     A augmentedA                 E MajorE G+G
Though in human life he trades, he's still a man

verse 2

    E MajorE
I feel sorry for the children who with open minds are willing
  A augmentedA                 E MajorE
To fight for ideals aging past their time
    E MajorE
I feel sorry for the children who will join the vicious circle
  A augmentedA                   E MajorE
Of instinct fear bred from their parents' minds


     G+G
The Lord God said, "Love thy neighbor
     A augmentedA                 E MajorE
Break the circle, free the hater, call him a friend
               A augmentedA    C majorC
Call him a friend, call him a friend

   E MajorE    G+G    A augmentedA   D MajorD
It's time to stop and decide
