You Say The Battle Is Over Chords

Lyrics & chords

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

[Verse 1]
And you [C]say that
the battle is [F]over[C]
And you say that the war is all [G]done
Go tell it to those with
the wind in their nose
Who run from the sound of [C]the gun[F]

[Verse 2]
And [C]write it on the sides of
[F]the great whaling [C]ships
Or on ice floes where
conscience is [F]tossed
With the wild in their eyes it
is [C]they who must die
And it's [G]we who must
measure the loss
[C][F]

[Verse 3]
[C]
And you say that the battle [F]is over[C]
And finally the world is at [G]peace
You mean no one is dying and
mothers don't weep
Or it's not in the papers [C]at least

[Verse 4]
There are [C]those who would deal
in the dark[F]ness of [C]life
There are those who
would tear down the [F]sun
And most men are ruthless
[C]but some will still weep
When the [G]gifts we were given are [F]gone

[Verse 5]
[G]Now [Am]the [G]blam[Am]e cannot[C]
fall on the [F]heads of a [C]few
It's become such a part of the [G]race
It's eternally tragic that
which is magic
Be killed at the end of the glorious
[C]chase[F]
From young [C]seals to

[Verse 6]
great whales
[F]from waters to [C]wood
They will fall just like weeds
in the [F]wind
With fur coats and perfumes
and [C]trophies on walls
What [G]a hell of a race to call [F]men
[G][Am][C][F][C]

[Verse 7]
[G]
And you [C]say that the battle [F]is over[C]
And you say that the war is all [G]done
Go tell it to those with the
wind in their nose
Who run from the sound of [C]the gun[F]
And [C]write it on the sides

[Verse 8]
of
the great [F]whaling [C]ships
Or on ice floes where conscience
is [F]tossed
With the wild in their eyes
it is [C]they who must die
And [G]we who must measure [C]the loss
With the [F]wild in their eyes
it is [C]they who must die
And [G]we who will measure [C]the cost

[Outro 1]
