[Intro]

A Bm7 D E

(x2)

[Verse 1]

A Bm7 D E

On battlelines they fire bullets

A Bm7 D E

And I don’t know why they do it

A Bm7 D E A Asus4 A

Cause I can’t see what has ever been gained

A Bm7 D E

It seem to me through all this fighting

A Bm7 D E

That more’s achieved by words and writing

A Bm7 D E F#m

Than any bullet fired through war or in rage

[Chorus 1]

D A E/G#

So what if we believed it’s all magical

Bm A E/G#

If it was up to me – watch the mighty fall

Bm F#m E Bm

We would all stand back and just laugh at war

[Verse 2]

A Bm7 D E

I understand though I don’t like it

A Bm7 D E

That we were made and built for fighting

A Bm7 D E F#m

But can’t we put those tanks and bullets away

[Chorus 2]

D A E/G#

So what if we believed it’s all magical

[Verse 3]

A Bm7 D E

For if we need to express our anger

A Bm7 D E

Well, we can shout but to talk’s much better

A Bm7 D E F#m

Than taking all control and blowing away

[Chorus 4]

D A E/G#

So what if we believed it’s all magical

Bm A E/G#

If it was up to me – watch the mighty fall
