No, I don't have that one, but someone requested "War of Man" about a week
ago.  I lost his message, and I finally took the time to write it down.
This is my first attempt at cyber-tab so bear with me.  Any hints, advice,
whatever would be helpful.
Tune Guitar:  DADGBD (tune 1st and 6th strings down one full step)
INTRO CRDS (play twice)
C/D		|D		|Dm7		|Bb     C
And now the song:
The lit-tle crea-tures run	| in from the cold,-    |  back from the nest,
just like the 	| days of old.  | There in the safety	| of a mother's arms
Dm7			|Bb	C
			|
The warmth of ages far  |away from harm again.
The riff at this point is on the third and second string (G and B), open
to third fret, to second string open then second and third frets, then play
the D5 to fill it in.  If you listen you'll get it.  I'm not too good at
typing this stuff in (sorry).
Then the next bit goes like this:
No one wins,    |it's a war of man.	|               |               |
Now here's my attempt at tabbing the chords.  They sound so good because of
that DADGBD tuning.  Let that Sixth string D wring out.  Neil would ;-)
   C/D	   	     D		     Dm7	    Bb		     C
| | | | | |	| | | | | |	| | | | | |	| | | | | |	| | | | | |
0 0 5 5 5 5     0 0 7 7 7 7	0 0 0 5 6 0     x 8 8 7 6 x	x1010 9 8 x
| | | | | |	| | | | | |     | | | | | |     | | | | | |     | | | | | |
    Bb5		     C5		     A5		     Dm
| | | | | |	| | | | | |	| | | | | |	| | | | | |
x 8 8 x x x	x1010 x x x	x 7 7 x x x	0 0 01010 x (that's 2nd and 3rd
| | | | | |     | | | | | |	| | | | | |	| | | | | |  strings on 10th ft)
Here's the lyrics just to round things out:
The little creatures run in from the cold
Back to the nest just like the days of old
There in the safety of a mother's arms
The warmth of ages, far away from harm again.
Ears ringin' from the battle fire
The tired warrior aims a little higher
The black falcon or the little sparrow
The healing light or the flash of the barrel
No one wins
It's a war of man
No one wins
It's a war of man
Silver mane flyin' in the wind
