Verse1:                                               G     			C G
And you say that the battle is over, and you say
                      c  D
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				 C
And write it on the sides of the great whaling
G
ships
				     C
Or on ice floes where conscience is tossed with the wind in their eyes
		                             		  G	                  D
It is they who must die and it's we who must
             G*G
measure the loss

Verse: 3:
G                              C G
And you say that the battle is over and finally
                  C
the world is at peace
                                                           D
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		                       C
There are those who would deal in the darkness
     G
of life
		                          C
There are those who would tear down the sun
				G
And most men are ruthless but some will still
                D                     G*G
weep When the gifts we were given are gone

Verse 5:
G                                 C          G
Now the blame cannot rest on the heads of a few,
                                C    D
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                                       C
From young seals to great whales, from waters to
G                                           C
wood,They will fall just like weeds in the wind,
D
with fur coats and perfumes And trophies on
                                      G*G
walls, what a hell of a race to call men


Verse7:                                               G     			C G
And you say that the battle is over, and you say
                      D
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				 C
And write it on the sides of the great whaling
G
ships
				     C
Or on ice floes where conscience is tossed with the wind in their eyes
		                             		  G	                  D
It is they who must die and it's we who must
             G*G
measure the loss



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