Day Before We Went to War Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]
[C][Am]

[Verse 1]
All the [Am]pictures
on the wall
[C]The sand lying on the floor
The bed up[Am]stairs, still unmade
The dust float in the light
The [C]people just left
All [F]laughter and mess
For[C]getting this and that
And rushing [Dm]back[C][G]
[C]The

[Verse 2]
[Am]front door open
The music still playing in one room
Down the hall
And [C]towels on [Am]the floor
And then it's quiet
Just the bees and birds
The summer [C]haze
Of [F]the trees, and the [C]air
Feeds it [Dm]all, [C]feeds it all[G]
We can [C]all feel

[Verse 3]
[Am]it
Like a [G]light [C]hand on your back
[F]Welcoming you[C]
We can all [Am]feel it
Like a [C]light hand on your [F]back
Welcoming [C]you
The [Dm]day be[C]fore we went t[G]o war
[C]The [G]day [C]before we went [G]to war
We can [C]all [Am]feel it

[Verse 4]
All the [Am]parasols and kids at play
The sea so still and calm
Blue as the cloudless sky
[C]Just the gentle hum
Of the [Am]sum mer's goings on
Broken by the sudden rush
Of two planes
Flying low [C]and fast
Into the sun[F], into t[C]he sun

[Verse 5]
We can all [Am]feel it
Like a [C]light hand on your [F]back
Welcoming [C]you
We can all [Am]feel it
Like a [C]light hand on your [F]back
Welcoming [C]you
The [Dm]day be[C]fore we went t[G]o war
The day before we went to war
We can all [Am]feel it

[Interlude 1]
[Am][C][Am][C]
[Am][C][Am][Dm][C][Dm][G]

[Verse 6]
We can all [Am]feel it
Like a [Em]light [C]hand on your back
[F]Welcoming you[C]
We can all [Am]feel it
Like a [C]light hand on your [F]back
Welcoming [C]you
The [Dm]day be[C]fore we went t[G]o war
The day before we went to war
The day [G]before we went to war
