Dm
Come you masters of war

You that build the big guns

You that build the death planes,
         Cadd9         Dm
You that build all the bombs

You that hide behind walls
         Cadd9       Dm
You that hide behind desks
                   Cadd9                       Dm
I just want you to know I can see through your masks.

You can play the other verses using the same sequence shown above.
Though there are some subtle differences here and there.
He occasionally throws in the following chords:

G/b:  020030
Dm/f: 003231

I'll leave it to you to work out where they occur :)
At any rate this is a huge improvement on the other submission.
Which wasn't even close.
