[Verse 1]
[C]Oh[Am][G][C][Am]
no- [G]there's [C]got[Am]
[C]to be[Am][C][Am]
[C]a b[Am]etter[C] way[Am]
Say it [C]again[Am][C]
There's [Am]got [C]to b[Am]e[C][Am]
a [C]better [Am]way- [C]yeah[Am]
[C]What is it [Am]good [C]for?
(war)
Man has a sense [Am]for [C]the
[Am]disc[G]overy of beaut[Am]y
How rich is [G]the world [Am]for
one who makes you for us to show
Beauty must have power [C]over man,
[Am]war[C][Am][C][Am]
[C]After the [Am]end [C]of the w[Am]ar I[C][Am]
[C]want [Am]to de[C]vote my self[Am]
[C]To my [Am]thou[C]ghts for fiv[Am]e to [C]ten
[Am]years [C]and [Am]to writing them down
[C]War [Am]has caused unrest among
the younger generation
Induction then destruction,
[C]who wants to [Am]die?
[C]Wars come [Am]and go w[C]hat remains
[Am]are only the values of [C]culture
Then of course there is revolutionary love
[Am]Love [C]of [Am]comrades [C]fighting
for the people [Am]and love of people
Not an [C]abstract people but [Am]people
one meets [C]an d [Am]works with
When Che Guevara [C]taught of love being
At the center of [Am]revolution[C]ary [Am]en deavor,
he meant both
For people like [C]Che or George
Jackson [Am]or Malcolm [C]X
Love [Am]was the prime mover
of their struggle
That [C]love cost [Am]them their lives,
love coupled with a man's pride
Love coupled with a man's [C]pride
Give it [Am]to you on top, now
War, I despise 'cause it means destruction
[C]of innocent lives
War, [Am]means tears to thousands
of mothers how
When their sons go off to
fight and lose their lives
[G]I s[Am]aid, war, g[C]ood god, n[Am]ow,
[C]what is it [Am]good for?
[C]Absolutely, nothing
Say it [Am]again, [C]war[Am],
[C]wha[Am]t is [C]it good fo[Am]r?
[C]Ab solutely, [Am]nothing, [C]listen to me
[Am]War, it ain't [C]nothing but a heart breaker
[Am]War, [C]friend only to the undertaker,
[Am]war[C]
[Am]War, what is it good for?
Absolutely [C]nothing[Am][C]
[Am]Say it, war, good god now, what
[G]is it goo[Am]d for?
Absolutely nothing, say it, (war)
Oh no, there's got to be a bet[C]ter way
[Am]Say [C]it again[Am], ther[C]e's
[Am]got to
[C]be a bet[Am]ter [C]way[Am]
Yeah, [C]what [Am]is it[C][Am]
[C]goo[Am]d for[C]?
War, what is it [Am]good for?
