[Intro 1]
[Am][F][C][G]
[C][Am][F][C][G]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
East and [Am]West could not agree
So their generals gave call,
gathered troops at the bor[F]der
[Am]With guns at ready,
drawn and aimed
Each side was praying to a God to bless
them with strength and [F]courage
It was [G]in [Am]His name artille[F]ry
[C]lit the sky on fir[G]e
The people sang [Am]protest song[F]s to try
[C]and stop the soldier's [G]gun

[Verse 2]
[Am]Protest songs in response to
mil[F]itary aggression
[C]Protest songs to try and stop
the soldier[G]'s gun
But the battle raged [Am]on

[Interlude 1]
[Am][F][C][G]

[Verse 3]
[Am]Sirens filled the air,
and the ground shook with war
Civilian casualties had been a cost
that was predeter[F]mined
When [Am]interviewed for report,
victims pleaded in frustration
Their claim: that this was
a war without [F]reason
And bureau[G]crats en[Am]gaged [F]in debate
to [C]try and reach a resol[G]ution
The people sang [Am]protest song[F]s to try
[C]and stop the soldier's [G]gun

[Verse 4]
[Am]Protest songs in response to
mil[F]itary aggression
[C]Protest songs to try and stop
the soldier[G]'s gun
[Am]Protest songs in response to
mil[F]itary aggression
[C]Protest songs to try and stop
the soldier[G]'s gun
But the battle raged [Am]on

[Interlude 2]
[Am][F][C][G]

[Verse 5]
While the [G]broadcast, [Am]like their prayers,
went un[F]answered [C]and ignored
[G]God, like the rest of the world,
just watched in silence
There was purpose [Am]to be served,
[F]there were fortunes [C]to be earned
Be[G]fore a peace could be called to stop the fighting,

[Verse 6]
they sang...
[Am]Protest songs in response to
mil[F]itary aggression
[C]Protest songs to try and stop
the soldier[G]'s gun
[Am]Protest songs in response to
mil[F]itary aggression
[C]Protest songs to try and stop
the soldier[G]'s gun
[Am]Protest songs in response to
mil[F]itary aggression
[C]Protest songs to try and stop
the soldier[G]'s gun
[Am]Protest songs in response to
mil[F]itary aggression
[C]Protest songs to try and stop
the soldier[G]'s gun
But the battle raged [Am]on
