| D | D | D | D | [Verse 1]
D D I am the son of a grassland farmer
D D G Western Oklahoma nineteen forty three
G G D D A I always felt grateful to live in the land of the free
D D I gave up my father to South Korea
D D G The mind of my brother to Vietnam
G G D A7 Now there's a banker who says I must give up my land
D D There are four generations of blood in this topsoil
D D G Four generations of love on this farm
G G D D Before I give up I would gladly give up my right arm [Chorus]
A A D What are we making weapons for
Bm G A D Why keep on feeding the war machine
A A D We take it right out of the mouths of our babies
A A D Take it away from the hands of the poor
G D A D Tell me, what are we making weapons for [Instrumental]
| D | D | D | D | [Verse 2]
D D I had a son and my son was a soldier
D D G He was so like my father, he was so much like me
G G D D A To be a good comrade was the best that he dreamed he could be
D D He gave up his future to revolution
D D G His life to a battle that just can't be won
G G D A7 For this is not living, to live at the point of a gun
D D I remember the nine hundred days of Leningrad
D D G The sound of the dying, the cut of the cold
G G D D I remember the moments I prayed I would never grow old [Chorus]
A A D What are we making weapons for
Bm G A D Why keep on feeding the war machine
A A D We take it right out of the mouths of our babies
A A D Take it away from the hands of the poor
G D A D Tell me, what are we making weapons for [Instrumental]
| D | D | D | D | [Verse 3]
D D For the first time in my life I feel like a prisoner
D D G A slave to the ways of the powers that be
G G D A7 And I fear for my children, as I fear for the future I see
D D Tell me how can it be we're still fighting each other
D D G What does it take for a people to learn
G G D D If our song is not sung as a chorus, we surely will burn [Chorus]
A A D What are we making weapons for
Bm G A D Why keep on feeding the war machine
A A D We take it right out of the mouths of our babies
A A D Take it away from the hands of the poor
G D A D D Tell me, what are we making weapons for [Otro]
D A D G6 D D Have we forgotten
D A D G6 D D All the lives that were given
D A D G6 D D All the vows that were taken
D A Asus4 A Saying never again
G Em D D Now for the first time
D A D G6 D D This could be the last time
D A D G6 D A If peace is our vision
A7 D Let us begin
D A D G6 D D Have we forgotten
D A D G6 D D All the lives that were given
D A D G6 D D All the vows that were taken
D A Asus4 A Saying never again, never again
G Em D D Now for the first time
D A D G6 D D This could be the last time
D A D G6 D A If peace is our vision
A7 D A7 D A7 D Let us begin, let us begin
