Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]For decades,
the Austro- Hungarian Empire had been
A powerful influence in the
heart of Europe
Resting on a legacy, their house kept stability,
order, and peace

[Verse 2]
But not everyone bowed to this power
[Em]
In the summer of 1914, the Archduke
Franz Ferdinand of the empire
Is visiting Sarajevo,
unaware of the assassins awaiting him

[Verse 3]
And what will come
[Em]
Two shot[B]s are fired,
and the Archduke is dead
The Empire cannot let
this go unpunished

[Verse 4]
And the first declaration of war is made
[Em]From a shot that would
change the world
Tensions rise and a [Am]war is unf[B]urled
[Em]Nothing like what had come before
[Am]It's the war that will end a[B]ll war

[Verse 5]
[Em]From a shot that would
change the world
Tensions rise and a [Am]war is unf[B]urled
[Em]Nothing like what had come before
[Am]It's the war that will end a[B]ll war

[Interlude 1]
[Em]

[Verse 6]
Chaos [Em]and shockwaves spread from the
Balkans across the globe
Alliances are put to the test,
threats exchanged
And armies are put on high alert
In the East, the Russian Tsar is trying
to calm the situation

[Verse 7]
With his cousin, the Kaiser of Germany
[B]
But it is all in vain,
the situation is out of control

[Verse 8]
War is unavoidable
[Em]From a shot that would change
the world
Tensions rise and [Am]a war is [G]unfurled[B]
[Em]Nothing like what had
come [Am]before
It's the war that will [B]end all war

[Verse 9]
[Em]From a shot that
would change the [B]world
[Em]Tensions rise and a war [Am]is unfur[G]led
[B]Not[Em]hing like what had
come [Am]before
It's the war that will [B]end all war

War begins
