You Say That The Battle Is Over
Written by David Mallett
Recorded by John Denver

Intro:
| C  | F C | G  | C F | C

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
