Rumours Of War

          Am                       
There are soldiers marching on the 
C  G    Am
common today
           C    F          C
They were there again this evening
     Am                        
They paced up and down like sea 
 G
birds on the ground
Am          G             Am
Before the storm clouds gathering
       Am                          
I must buy whatever tinned food is 
 C      G   Am
left on the shelves
         C           F        C
They are testing the air raid sirens

        Am                       
They've filled up the blood banks 
     G
and emptied the beds
       Am       G       Am
At the hospital and the asylum
        Am                         
I saw a man build a shelter in his 
C      G  Am
garden today
       C           F    C
And we stood there idly chatting
         Am              G
He said: "No, no I don't think war 
will come"
    Am       G          Am
Yet still he carried on digging
Am               C         G Am
Everything in my life that I love
         C     F            C
Could be swept away without warning
        Am                      
Yet the birds still sing and the 
 G
church bells ring
        Am       G       Am
And the sun came up this morning
Am                 G
Life goes on as it did before
       Am      G                Am
As the country drifts slowly to war
