TABBED BY: VICTORIA TRESTRAIL [email protected]


Verse1:                        G+G   			C majorC G+G
And you say that the battle is over, and you say
           c D MajorD
that the war is all done

Go tell it to those with the wind in their nose
                G*G
who run from the sound of the gun

Verse 2:
G+G				 C majorC
And write it on the sides of the great whaling
G+G
ships
				   C majorC
Or on ice floes where conscience is tossed with the wind in their eyes
		               		 G+G	         D MajorD
It is they who must die and it's we who must
       G*G
measure the loss

Verse: 3:
G+G               C majorC G+G
And you say that the battle is over and finally
         C majorC
the world is at peace
                              D MajorD
You mean no one is dying and mothers don't weep
                G*G
or it's not in the papers at least


Verse 4:
G+G		            C majorC
There are those who would deal in the darkness
   G+G
of life
		             C majorC
There are those who would tear down the sun
				G+G
And most men are ruthless but some will still
        D MajorD           G*G
weep When the gifts we were given are gone

Verse 5:
G+G                 C majorC     G+G
Now the blame cannot rest on the heads of a few,
                C majorC  D MajorD
it's become such a part of the race

it's eternally tragic, that that which is magic
                    G*G
be killed at the end of the glorious chase

Verse 6:
G+G                    C majorC
From young seals to great whales, from waters to
G+G                      C majorC
wood,They will fall just like weeds in the wind,
D MajorD
with fur coats and perfumes And trophies on
                   G*G
walls, what a hell of a race to call men


Verse7:                        G+G   			C majorC G+G
And you say that the battle is over, and you say
           D MajorD
that the war is all done

Go tell it to those with the wind in their nose
                G*G
who run from the sound of the gun

Verse 8:
G+G				 C majorC
And write it on the sides of the great whaling
G+G
ships
				   C majorC
Or on ice floes where conscience is tossed with the wind in their eyes
		               		 G+G	         D MajorD
It is they who must die and it's we who must
       G*G
measure the loss


G+G
With the wind in their eyes, it is they who must die
	  D MajorD				  G+G
And it's we who must measure the cost
