This War chords by Sting

Chords with lyrics

Intro: E minorEm

    C majorC
You've got the mouth of a she wolf
      A minorAm
Inside the mask of an innocent lamb
       E minorEm
You say your heart is all compassion
          Dsus2/F#      G+G
But there's just a flat line on your cardiogram


    A minorAm            C majorC
Yet you always made a profit baby
               E minorEm
If it was a famine or a feast

       C majorC
Yes, I'm the soul of indiscretion,
   A minorAm
I was cursed with x-ray vision,
    E minorEm
I could see right through all the lies you told,
     Dsus2/F#      G+G
When you smiled for the television


      A minorAm          C majorC
And you can see the coming battle
                  E minorEm
You pray the drums will never cease
      A minorAm            C majorC
And you may win this war that's coming
                 E minorEm
But would you tolerate the peace?


    D MajorD   G+G  C majorC A minorAm
OoHooHoooooHoooHoooooo
 D MajorD
Investing in munitions
     G+G
And those little cotton flags
     C majorC
Invest in wooden caskets
      A minorAm              G+G E minorEm
In guns and body bags, guns and body bags


   C majorC
Your daddy was a businessman
    A minorAm
And it always made good sense
       E minorEm
You know the war can make you rich my friend
  Dsus2/F#      G+G
In dollars, pounds and cents

    A minorAm            C majorC
In the temple that was Mammon's
                  E minorEm
You were ordained the parish priest
     A minorAm            C majorC
Yes you may win this coming battle
                 E minorEm
But could you tolerate the peace?


    D MajorD   G+G  C majorC A minorAm
OoHooHoooooHoooHoooooo
    D MajorD   G+G  C majorC A minorAm
OoHooHoooooHoooHoooooo
 D MajorD
Invest in deadly weapons
     G+G
And those little cotton flags
     C majorC
Invest in wooden caskets
      A minorAm
In guns and body bags
    D MajorD
You're invested in oppression
     G+G
Investing in corruption
        C majorC
Invest in every tyranny
               A minorAm  G+G E minorEm
And the whole world's destruction


 G+G         E minorEm
I imagine there's a future
       G+G        E minorEm
When all the earthly wars are over
    G+G         E minorEm
You may find yourself just standing there
    G+G        E minorEm
On the white cliffs of Dover


    G+G         E minorEm
You may ask, what does it profit a man
      G+G             E minorEm
To gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul?
       G+G          E minorEm
Is that your body you see on the rocks below
    G+G       E minorEm
As the tide begins to roll?


    A minorAm           C majorC
And you invested in this prison
                 E minorEm
From which you never got released
       A minorAm             C majorC
You may have won this war we're fighting
                 D MajorD G+G C majorC A minorAm
But would you tolerate the peace?


    D MajorD   G+G  C majorC A minorAm
OoHooHoooooHoooHoooooo

On the birds and the bees

And don't do nothing
