Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][G]
[F][F]

[Chorus 1]
[G]War, war is stupid
and people are stupid
And [F]love means nothing
in some strange quarters
[G]War, war is stupid
and people are stupid
And [F]I heard them banging
on hearts and fingers
[G]War

[Verse 1]
People [D]fill the world
with [C]narrow confidence
Like a [D]child at birth,
a [C]man with no defence
What's [D]mine's my own,
I [C]won't give it to you
No [D]matter what you say,
no [C]matter what you do

[Pre-chorus 1]
Now we're [D]fighting in our hearts
[C]Fighting in the streets
[Bdim]Won't somebody help me[Am]?

[Chorus 2]
[G]War, war is stupid
and people are stupid
And [F]love means nothing
in some strange quarters
[G]War, war is stupid
and people are stupid
And [F]I heard them banging
on hearts and fingers
[G]War

[Verse 2]
Man is [D]far behind
in the [C]search of something new
Like a [D]philistine,
we're [C]burning witches too
This [D]world of hate
must [C]be designed for you
It [D]matters what you say,
it [C]matters what you do

[Pre-chorus 2]
Now we're [D]fighting in our hearts
[C]Fighting in the streets
[Bdim]Won't somebody help me[Am]?

[Chorus 3]
[G]War, war is stupid
and people are stupid
And [F]love means nothing
in some strange quarters
[G]War, war is stupid
and people are stupid
And [F]I heard them banging
on hearts and fingers
[G]War

[Interlude 1]
[Gm]War, war, war, war, war
War, war, war, war, war
[Gm]War, war, war, war, war
War, war, war, war, war
[Gm]War, war, war, war, war
War, war, war, war, war
[Gm][Gm][Gm][Gm]
[Gm][Gm]

[Bridge 1]
[Gm]After the bird has flown
He walked ten thousand miles back home
You [Gm]can't do that to me, no,
you can't do that to me
You [Gm]can't do that to me, no,

[Interlude 2]
you can't do that to me
[G][G]
[F]War,[F]
[G]war

[Verse 3]
In this [D]heart of mine,
I'll [C]find a place for you
For [D]black or white,
for [C]grown-up children too

[Pre-chorus 3]
Now we're [D]fighting in our hearts
[C]Fighting in the streets
[Bdim]Won't somebody help me[Am]?

[Chorus 4]
[G]War, war is stupid
and people are stupid
And [F]love means nothing
in some strange quarters
[G]War, war is stupid
and people are stupid
And [F]I heard them banging

[Chorus 5]
on hearts and fingers
[G]War, war is stupid
and people are stupid
And [F]love means nothing
in some strange quarters
[G]War, war is stupid
and people are stupid
And [F]I heard them banging

[Chorus 6]
on hearts and fingers
[G]War, war is stupid
and people are stupid
And [F]love means nothing
in some strange quarters
[G]War, war is stupid
and people are stupid
And [F]I heard them banging
on hearts and fingers
[Fade out]
