[Verse 1]
G D G
The Christmas cards and greetings are arriving
G D G
Across the shifty sands to the wall
G D G
By the time I get to read them, she'll be rising
G D G
To a fifty/fifty chance and nothing more, WAR!
[Instrumental]
| E | E | E | E |
[Verse 2]
G D G
Through the sleet and drizzle you can hear the sound of soldiers
G D G
The Kalashnikov and splutter on a sunny day
G D G
From the east and middle to the north and south and nowhere
G D G
People earn their bread and butter in some funny ways, WAR!
[Instrumental]
| E | E | E | E |
[Chorus]
A E
In the corridors of power
A E
Where the talks are in full swing
A E
If you can't say it with flowers
A
Than don't say anything
[Bridge]
G D G
I want to see my children grow up in to healthy human beings
G D G
I wanna see them walking, running, playing, laughing and singing
| G | D | G | G |
| G | D | G | G |
WAR!
[Instrumental]
| E | E | E | E |
| E | E | E | E |
[Chorus]
A E
In the corridors of power
A E
Where the talks are in full swing
A E
If you can't say it with flowers
A
Than don't say anything
[Verse 3]
G D G
I'm just outside the home of Christmas now and I'm dying
G D G
All across the shifty sands there's blood and guts
G D G
By the time I get to Jesus, she'll still be crying
G D G
I guess a fifty/fifty chance wasn't good enough
[Outro]
