Em-C-C(III)-B7 
 
Verse 1 
        Em 
So they paved the world to providence 
    C 
And lined up the memories 
   C(III)                        B7 
In reference to what is dead and gone 
     Em 
Then the band and the symphony 
C 
In sweet sounding harmony 
C(III)                 B7 
Lay down their guns in disgust 
    C               C(III)     B7 
For they knew their armies had lost 
 
Chorus 
   C          F 
So haven't we seen enough 
             B7

C          F 
Haven't we had our fun 
                B7 C(III) 
Watching on the TV screens

Verse 2 
      Em 
So we harbour our hopes and fears 
C 
In houses and evergreens 
C(III)              B7 
Cast adrift what we don't need 
         Em 
Then the rhythm of tambourine 
C 
And drama of marching scene 
C(III)                     B7 
Lay down their violence in trust 
    C         C(III)      B7 
For they knew how much to cost 
 
Chorus 
 
    Em 
For when all is said and done 
C            
And our aims run 
C(III)     B7 
Then we'll come
