         G                     C G
And you say that the battle is over
                             D
And finally the war is all done
Go tell it to those with the wind in their nose
                               G   C
Who run from the sound of the gun
      G                            C             G
And write it on the sides of the great whaling ships
                                      C
Or on ice floes where conscience is tossed with the wild in their eyes
       G                          D                        G   C  Em  D
It is they who must die and it's we who must measure the loss
         G                     C G
And you say that the battle is over
                             D
And finally the world is at peace
You mean no one is dying and mothers don't weep
                             G   C
or it's not in the papers at least
      G                               C           G
There are those who would deal in the darkness of life
                                        C
There are those who would tear down the sun. And most men are ruthless
     G                             D                        G   C  Em  D
but some will still weep, when the gifts we were given are gone
         G                       C          G
Now the blame cannot fall on the heads of a few
                               D
It's become such a part of the race
It's eternally tragic, that which is magic,
                                     G    C
be killed at the end of the glorious chase
           G                           C         G
From young seals to great whales, from waters to wood
                                      C
They will fall just like weeds in the wind. With fur coats and perfumes
    G                          D                     G   C  Em  D
and trophies on walls, what a hell of a race to call men
         G                     C G
And you say that the battle is over
                             D
And finally the war is all done
Go tell it to those with the wind in their nose
                               G   C
Who run from the sound of the gun
      G                            C             G
And write it on the sides of the great whaling ships
                                      C
Or on ice floes where conscience is tossed with the wild in their eyes
       G                          D                        G
It is they who must die and it's we who must measure the loss
         C
With the wild in their eyes
      G
It is they who must die
         D                        G    C G
And it's we who must measure the loss
