This War chords by Sting

Intro: Em

    C
You've got the mouth of a she wolf
      Am
Inside the mask of an innocent lamb
       Em
You say your heart is all compassion
          Dsus2/F#      G
But there's just a flat line on your cardiogram


    Am            C
Yet you always made a profit baby
               Em
If it was a famine or a feast

       C
Yes, I'm the soul of indiscretion,
   Am
I was cursed with x-ray vision,
    Em
I could see right through all the lies you told,
     Dsus2/F#      G
When you smiled for the television


      Am          C
And you can see the coming battle
                  Em
You pray the drums will never cease
      Am            C
And you may win this war that's coming
                 Em
But would you tolerate the peace?


    D   G  C Am
OoHooHoooooHoooHoooooo
 D
Investing in munitions
     G
And those little cotton flags
     C
Invest in wooden caskets
      Am              G Em
In guns and body bags, guns and body bags


   C
Your daddy was a businessman
    Am
And it always made good sense
       Em
You know the war can make you rich my friend
  Dsus2/F#      G
In dollars, pounds and cents


    Am            C
In the temple that was Mammon's
                  Em
You were ordained the parish priest
     Am            C
Yes you may win this coming battle
                 Em
But could you tolerate the peace?


    D   G  C Am
OoHooHoooooHoooHoooooo
    D   G  C Am
OoHooHoooooHoooHoooooo
 D
Invest in deadly weapons
     G
And those little cotton flags
     C
Invest in wooden caskets
      Am
In guns and body bags
    D
You're invested in oppression
     G
Investing in corruption
        C
Invest in every tyranny
               Am  G Em
And the whole world's destruction


 G         Em
I imagine there's a future
       G        Em
When all the earthly wars are over
    G         Em
You may find yourself just standing there
    G        Em
On the white cliffs of Dover


    G         Em
You may ask, what does it profit a man
      G             Em
To gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul?
       G          Em
Is that your body you see on the rocks below
    G       Em
As the tide begins to roll?


    Am           C
And you invested in this prison
                 Em
From which you never got released
       Am             C
You may have won this war we're fighting
                 D G C Am
But would you tolerate the peace?


    D   G  C Am
OoHooHoooooHoooHoooooo
     D
There's a war on our democracy
  G
A war on our dissent
            C
There's a war inside religion
     C
And what Jesus might have meant


D
There's a war on mother nature
 G
A war upon the seas
           C
There's a war upon the forests
    C
On the birds and the bees


D
There's a war on education
 G
A war on information
         C
A war between the sexes
  C
And every nation


 D
A war on our compassion
         G
A war on understanding
         C
A war on love and life itself
             Am  C  Am  C
It's war that they're demanding


G Em G Em

    G      Em
Make it easy on yourself
       G   Em
And don't do nothing
