 War - I despise
 
Cos it means destruction of anything alive
 
War means tears
 
In a thousand mothers eyes
 
When their sons go off fighting and lose their lives I said
 
    Ebm  F#    F#        Ebm      F#                       F#
WAR! HUH! WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR? (absolutely) NOTHING! (War!)

    Ebm  F#    F#        Ebm      F#                  F#
WAR! HUH! WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR? (absolutely) NOTHING!

 War has shattered many young man's dreams
 
Playing the same old (???????????????)
 
Life is too short and precious to spend fighting
 
War don't bring life, it can only take it away I said
 
    Ebm  F#    F#        Ebm            F#                     F#
WAR! HUH! WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR? (say it again) NOTHING! (what?)
    Ebm  F#    F#        Ebm      F#                  F#
WAR! HUH! WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR? (absolutely) NOTHING!
    Ebm  F#    F#        Ebm      F#                  F#
WAR! HUH! WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR? (absolutely) NOTHING!

  Ebm
I know we must fight to keep our freedom
 
But I know there's got to be a better way
 
then vocally ad lib it with various echoed 'NO!'s and 'Woah-oh's and stuff
for a bit then:
 
N.C.
WARWARWARWARWARWARWARWARWARWARWARWARWARWARWARWARWARWARWARWAR... etc.
 
Note:
 
During the verses -  the Ebm changes slightly like, and I can't say
 for sure what to here are the chords it might be, it could be all
 of them - but it makes playing the verses more interesting anyway!
