Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Gm][Eb][D][Gm][C][D]
[Cm][Csus2]
[Gm][Bb][Gm][G]

[Verse 1]
Holy [A]war
Genocide
Suicide
Hate and [D]cruelty
[Bb]How can this be holy?
[Asus4]If I had a heart, I'[A]d cry[D]

[Verse 2]
These [D]an [G]cient tales
The [A]good go to [D]heaven
And the [A]wicked ones burn [D]in hell
[Bb]Ring the funeral [Asus4]bells
If I had a [A]heart, I'd cry
[D]

[Verse 3]
There's just [Am]too many people now
Too little [Dm]land
Much too much [Am]desire
You feel so feeble now
It's so [Dm]out of hand
Big bombs and [Bb]barbed wire
[Ab]We've set our lovely sky
Our [Bb]lovely [Abaug]sky

[Interlude 1]
On fire
[Bb][G][A][D][A]
[D][Bb][Asus4][A][D]

[Verse 4]
[Am]There's just too many people now
And too little [Dm]land
Too much rage and desire
[Am]It makes you feel so feeble now
It's so out of [Dm]hand
Big bombs [Bb]and barbed w[Ab]ire
Can't [Bb]you see
Our [Abaug]destiny?
[Ab]We're making t[Abaug]his earth[Ab][Bb]
Our funeral [Gm]pyre
[G]Holy Earth

[Verse 5]
[A]
How can we heal you?
[D]We [A]cover you like a [D]blight
[Bb]Strange birds of [Asus4]appetite
If I had a [A]heart, I'd [D]cry[Bb]
[Asus4]If I had a heart, I'[A]d cry[D][Bb][Asus4]
If I had a [A]heart, I'd [D]cry

[Outro 1]
[D][Gm][D][Gm][D]
