(From the 1970 Album THANK CHRIST FOR THE BOMB)

[Intro]

G E E7 D

[Verse 1]

D A E G D A E G D

In 1914 a war began, a million soldiers lent a hand

A E G D A E G D

Weren't many planes to give support, hand to hand was the way they fought

A E G D A E G D

Young men were called up for the cause, for king and country and the cross

A E G D A E G D

In their naivete they thought it was for glory, so they'd been taught

[Interlude]

D A G E

[Verse 2]

D A E G D A E G D

In 1939 once again there came the sound of marching men

A E G D A E G D

Occupying European land, all the way to North French sands

A E G D A E G D

But, in the final year of that war, two big bangs settled the score

A E G D A E G D

Against Japan, who'd joined the fight, the rising sun didn't look so bright

[Interlude]

D A G E7

[Verse 3]

D A E G D A E G D

Since that day it's been stalemate, everyone's scared to obliterate

A E G D A E G D

So it seems for peace we can thank the bomb, so I say thank Christ for the bomb

A E G D A E G D

So I say thank Christ for the bomb, so I say thank Christ for the bomb

[Interlude]
