Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
I [D]don't know
[Bm]you to w[G]ear [D]a hat
But I came home late and [G]there [Em]it sat
You [A]rose to show what hats are for
When [G]living through a civil [Bm]war
[D]When living through a [G]civil war

[Verse 2]
[D]
Christmas [Bm]mornings and [G]New
Year's [D]Day
They flood with dreams and
they [G]drift [Em]away
They [A]cling to logs and cupboard doors
While [G]riding out this [Bm]civil war
[D]Riding out this civ[G]il war

[Verse 3]
[Em]Fighters came and they[Asus4] pitched a ten[D]t
An[Em]d everyone around he[D]re went
[G]The[F#] fix was in, we bet[Bm] and we swore
From both [E]sides of [A]a civil war
[D][F#m][A]

[Verse 4]
[D]
We build this [Bm]up and w[G]e
knock this [D]down[G][D]
We call our little [G]mob a [Em]town
We [A]nail a sign above the door
"God [G]bless our little civil [Bm]war"
"God [D]bless our little [G]civil war"

[Verse 5]
[Em]Three dogs at a party an
the [D]road at night
[Em]Play checkers in the lantern[D] light
[F#]They sing a song out to the [Bm]shore
Of wo[E]men, gold,
[A]and civil war
[F#m][A]

[Verse 6]
[D]
Every [Bm]truth [G]carries [D]blame
Every [F#m]light re[G]veals some
[Em]shame[A]
Progress rides with thieves and whores
[G]The stowaways of civil war[Bm]
[D]The stowaways of civ[G]il war

[Verse 7]
[A]Progress rides with thieves
and whores
[G]The stowaways of civil
[Bm]war
[D]The stowaways [F#m]of civ[D]il war[G]

[Outro 1]
[G]
