Intro:  Am, F

1.)
Talk about the last war, the past 
war, the one before,
 Am
I wanna salute the troops, and what 
is more,
  D7
I'd like to toast a drink to the 
stink of the semaphore
    Am
I wanna parade on the graves of the 
gone before.

2.)
We were all together then, officers 
and gentlemen,
Am
prisoners and pressmen, hound dogs 
and yellow men,
  D7
three million dead or more, what a 
score,
 Am
with god on your side, you'll never 
loose another war.
      E7


Chorus:
But don't despair, there's more to 
come,
             Am                
make your repairs, re-skin your 
     F
drum,
            Am                   D7
and I'll guarantee, world war three,
          C                     
will be the biggest show, you've 
F7
ever seen.

3.)
The russians are coming, I can feel 
it in my piss,
     Am
better get out your gun, set your 
sights and don't miss,
       D7
better break out a bottle, make a 
toast to the past,
        Am
if it don't taste like vodka, you'd 
better make it last.

What's this I see, there's still 
foliage on the trees,
 Am
someone said hello, it was surely 
meant for me.

Hello I replied feeling strange 
inside

he took me by the hand and he 
whispered an aside.
