THE WAR SONG
(By Culture Club)

[Intro]
G - FM7

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

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

[Refrain]
          D
Now we're fighting in our hearts
C
Fighting in the streets
Bm                   Am - G
Won't somebody help me?

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

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

[Refrain]
          D
Now we're fighting in our hearts
C
Fighting in the streets
Bm                   Am - G
Won't somebody help me?

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

[Bridge]
G
After the bird has flown
FM7                               G
He walked ten thousand miles back home
G
You can't do that to me, no, you can't do 
that to me
G
You can't do that to me, no, you can't do 
that to me
G
War, war

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

[Refrain]
          D
Now we're fighting in our hearts
C
Fighting in the streets
Bm                   Am - G
Won't somebody help me?

[Chorus]
G
War, war is stupid and people are stupid
    F
And love means nothing in some strange 
quarters
G
War, war is stupid and people are stupid
   F
And I heard them banging on hearts and 
fingers
G
No more war, and no more war
    FM7
Say woah

[Outro]
       G                              
I said woah, said no more war, said no 
             FM7
more war, said woah
       G                         FM7
Said no more war, I said no more war
G
Senso hant-ai

Senso hant-ai
     FM7
Say no more war...FADE
