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

[Verse 1]
You'd [D]lay your life
down for this country
Lay it down for fools like [G]me
I know, I know, I know you [A]would[D]

[Verse 2]
You'd [D]make the ultimate sacrifice
Lose yourself on a throw of the [G]dice
I know, I know, I know you [A]would
[D]'Cause [A]the

[Verse 3]
[Em]line you come
from stretches back
In an un[A]broken chain
other countries lack
Every [F#m]single corner of the world
Has [Bm]seen our banners being unfurled
You've [G]won and lost and battled on
[Abdim]Whether the cause was right or wrong

[Verse 4]
God [D]knows what you do to the enemy
'Cause you [A]scare the
living hell out of me

[Verse 5]
He'd [D]lay his life down for his country
He'd like to kill fools like me
[G]I know, I know, I know he w[D]ould[A]

[Verse 6]
He'd [D]make the ultimate sacrifice
Blow himself to [G]paradise
I know, I know, I know he [A]would[D]

[Verse 7]
And the [Em]line he comes from stretches back
In an un[A]broken chain other countries lack
In [F#m]the farthest corners
of the world
Where he's [Bm]watched our
banners being unfurled
He's [G]won and lost and battled on
[Abdim]Whether his c[E]ause was
right [Abdim]or wrong

[Verse 8]
He's [D]this generation's enemy
And he [A]scares the living hell out of me

[Verse 9]
No more [D]war, [G]it's not gonna [Em]happen
Not [G]while there's men
willing to fight [D]in them

[Verse 10]
No more [D]war,
[Bm]it's not gonna [Em]happen
Not while there's patriotism,
[A]Not while there's patriotism,
[D]No more war,

[Verse 11]
[Bm]it's not gonna happen
[Em]Not while there's some saying
[A]That this is the last one,
[D]No more war,

[Verse 12]
[Bm]it's not gonna happen
[Em]Not while religious nuts
[A]Are wil[G]ling to spill their guts

[Verse 13]
And the [Em]line we come from stretches back
In an un[A]broken chain no country lacks
To the [F#m]darkest corner of a cave
Where [Bm]there's a weapon made to stave
Or [G]gouge or choke or cut and kill
In a hun[Abdim]dred years we'll be fighting still
[D]I know, I know, I[A] know,
I know [D]we will.
