[Intro 1]
[Am][F][G]
[Am][F]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Talk about the last war,
the past war, the one before
I [D]wanna salute the troops and what is more
I'd [Am]like to toast a drink to
the stink of the semaphore
I [E]wanna parade on the graves of the
[Em]gone before

[Interlude 1]
[Am][F][G]
[Am][F][G]

[Verse 2]
[Am]We were all together then,
officers and gentlemen
[D]Prisoners and pressmen,
hound dogs and yellow men
[Am]Three million dead or more, what a score
With [E]God on your side you'll
never [Em]loose another war
[E]But [Am]don't despair,

[Verse 3]
[Am]
there's more to [F]come
Make your [Am]repairs, re- skin your [D]drum
And I'll [C]guarantee World War [F]Three
Will be the [Em]biggest show
you've ever [Am]seen

[Verse 4]
[Am]The[F][G][Am]
[F]Rus[Am]sians are coming,
I can feel it in my piss
Better [D]get out your gun,
set your sights and don't miss
[Am]Better break out a bottle,
make a toast to the past
[E]If it don't [Em]taste like [E]vodka,
you'd better make it [Em]last
[E]But don't despair,

[Verse 5]
[Am]
there's more to [F]come
Make your [Am]repairs, re- skin your [D]drum
And [Am]I'll [C]guarantee World War [F]Three
Will be the [Em]biggest show you've ever

ever seen
[Am]

[Verse 7]
[Am]What's this I see? There's still
foliage on the tree
Someone said hello,
it was surely meant for me
Hello, I replied, feeling strange inside
He took me by the hand and he
[Dm]whispered an [D]aside
[Am][D][Am]

[Verse 8]
It's al[C]right,
don't [Am]let it worry y[G]our [F]head
[Am]War [Dm]is over now but unfo[F]rtunately
[Em]you are dead

[Verse 9]
But don't des[Am]pair,
there's more to [F]come
Come on make your [Am]repairs,
re- skin your [D]drum
And I'll [C]guarantee World War [F]Three
Will be the [Em]biggest show you've ever
