War
The C chord is struck once after the Eb 
and then is percussively strummed after that 
while singing continues till the next Bb chord
use power chords 
BbThere's Ca war Ebgoing Con 
And the Bbones aCbout to dEbie are saCfe at home 
There's Bba Cwar Ebgoing Con 
And yoBbur woCrld stEbops feeliCng now

I know your mama and your daddy didn't tell you a thing 
( Cmuted strums)           Bb      C         Eb   C  
About the price of fame

Ain't but one thing that's for sure 
Everybody want some more 
No one gonna do what's "right" 
All we'll do is fight 
There's a war going on 
And the ones about to die are safe at home 
There's a war going on 
And the world stops feeling now

In that dark place you don't want to talk about
