DC
They treat us like we're extras in an epic
DC
They treat us like we're mud on their boots
A#C
They leave us on the stretchers when the credits roll
DC
Retreating safely to institutes
DC
Where dinner party military forces
DC
Toast themselves with the blood of us all
A#C
Smashing regimes between courses
DC
Chanting education, education and war
AG
We're gonna need a lot more cannons
AG
We're gonna need a lot more cannons
ADG
If you wanna be home by Christmas
ADG
If we're gonna be home by Christmas
F
I know there is another way
C
If you want to see their face again
Am
And I know they feel the same way
Em
over there
DC
They're making all the difficult decisions
DC
Put politicians and children first
A#C
Followed by their personal physicians who say
DC
You will be happy if you expect the worst
DC
Armed with paper straws and a bible
D
Lamps are going out across
C
department stores
A#
You will be issued with a rifle
C
on arrival chaps
DC
For education, education and war
AG
We're gonna need a lot more cannons
AG
We're gonna need a lot more cannons
ADG
If you wanna be home by Christmas
ADG
If we're gonna be home by Christmas
F
I know there is another way
C
If you want to see their face again
Am
And I know they feel the same way
Em
over there
F
I know there is another way
C
If you want to see their face again
Am
And I know they feel the same way
Em
over there
Show us the way to go
Hell or heaven help us
Show us the way to go
Save our souls
Show us the way back home
Save our souls
Show us the way to go
(I play this build up bit muted and using power chords)
AA#C
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
A
Quick time Get in Line Get Behind
A#
The man in front, You're the grunts
C
Oh oh oh oh oh
A
Look alive Pick a side
A#
Draw a line In the sand
You're just the band
C
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
AG
We're gonna need a lot more cannons
AG
We're gonna need a lot more cannons
ADG
If you wanna be home by Christmas
ADG
If we're gonna be home by Christmas
F
I know there is another way
C
If you want to see their face again
Am
And I know they feel the same way
Em
over there
F
I know there is another way
C
If you want to see their face again
Am
And I know they feel the same way
Em
over there
