B7 can be used instead of B and it still sounds good, for those of us that struggle with barre chords.
[Intro]

[Verse]
EmTwo men Awalked on the Cbeach in the Emsun
COne left Gfootprints, Athe other left Bnone
EmOne was a Cman that no Dman Bobeys;
The other a Agod from the Dancient Emdays
Em"Look," said the Aman, "how my Dkind make Emwar
CI summonned Gyou here to Aask what Bfor."
Em"For wealth Cor land," the Dgod repBlies
"For Emlife, or Afreedom, or Csome king's Emlies."
[Chorus]
(Continue Em)
Em"The sun is Dalso Ema warrior
GKnowledge can Aalso destBroy
Nor Gcan the kindest wDill
Preserve you from the Bkill
EmNot all of Dwisdom brinEmgs joy."
[Verse]
Em"Four of those Afive," the Dfirst one Emsaid
Are Cnot enGough to appeAase the Bdead
To Emsave my Cworld all this Dstrife must Bcease
So Emnow I Abid you to Emconjure peace."
The god said "AYes. Though it Dgrieves me Emsore
For CI was Galso a Agod of Bwar
And EmI remCember what Dyou forBget
EmFour of those Afive you may Dstill reEmgret."
[Chorus]

CAll strife Gstopped at the Agod's comBmand
No Cvoice ventured an Dangry Bword
EmNo hand Astruck and no Dweapon Emstirred
[Interlude]
Em Em D D Em Em A D Em Em
[Verse]
EmIn time, the Aman called the old Emgod back

CWe starve and die under Ahis comBmand
He Emspeaks the Ctruth and he Dgives us Bpeace
But Emall that I hope Afor is oDur relEmease."
EmThe old god Asaid, "This is Dwhat you wiEmlled
For Conly thus Gis your Awish fulBfilled
EmWar's five sources DI took aBway
Yet EmI will give Afour of them back tEmoday."
[Chorus]

CAnd all the Gworld overAturned in Bwar
AEmnd when Cthe last of Dthose fires let Bfall

"Feed the livGing and Abury the Bdead
And remEmember this Cwhen you speak of Bwar
And tGhink upon Awhat is worth fighting Emfor."
