D 
Let's start a war for the kids  
A 
A purpose for which to unite  
D 
Make them some words they can mince  
G*               D                A 
What they don't know, They won't mind  
 
D 
Find them a foe for the fight  
A 
And stories to tell as they age  
D 
Then maybe time will decide  
G*             D                A 
Which ones keep and which ones fade  
 
Chorus: 
Bm *                             D 
There's the deepest sleep in my life,  
Bm*                            D 
from which I am slowly coming to  
A*                  Bm* 
And every morning I wait for the news  
A* 
oh this is, this is post war blues  
 
guitar solo 
 
Make me a means to an end 
Oh make me an ending in sight 
Make me insightful again 
What I can't see, I can't fight 
 
Make me a fire to burn 
burn all the letters I wrote 
write me a list of concerns 
If we are at peace 
If we are at ease 
I want to know 
 
Chorus: 
There's the deepest sleep in my life 
from which I am slowly coming to 
And every morning I wait for the news 
Oh this is, this is post war blues 
 
Oh this is, this is post war blues
