Key = G
Standard tuning
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
Summon eGverything you’ve got
All your forces under the sun
Put the call up into the sky
I’ll take you one by one by one
Come on and take me Con
Come on and take me Gon
Come on and take me Con
Come on and take me Gon
[Verse 2]
Your wGords are like throwing stones
skipping across my skin
You take the war, look at what has gone before
there’s no way you will ever win
Come on and take me Con
Come on and take me Gon
Come on and take me Con
Come on and take me Gon
[Chorus]
Cause when the wDar is over, the fiCghting’s done,
well I’ll be lGying in the sun.
Yeah when the waDr is over, the figChting’s done,
well I’ll be lGying in the sun.
