Gulf War Song

           C#             G#7
We got a call to write a song
           C#          F#
about the war in the Gulf
         F#7           G#7   
But we shouldn't hurt anyone's 
   C#
feelings
       C#             G#7      
So we tried, then gave up, cause 
        C#          F#
there was no such song
        A           B      E
But the trying was very revealing
C#m           G#m        B       
What makes a person so poisonous 
 E
righteous
              C#m         E       
That they'd think less of anyone 
              A
who just disagreed?
 C#m          G#m       B         
She's just a pacifist, he's just a 
 E
patriot
      C#m           E             
If I said you were crazy, would 
  B             A
you have to fight me?

              A                    
Fighters for liberty, fighters for 
 E
power
B             E                  
Fighters for longer turns in the 
   A
shower
              G#7     F#7
Don't tell me I can't fight,
              B
cause I'll punch out your lights

      E      A        B
And history seems to agree
                    B      E
that I would fight you for me

       C#             G#7
So we read and we watched
         C#                 F#
all the specially selected news
        F#7            G#7        
And we learned so much more 'bout 
     C#
the good guys
           C#           G#7
Won't you stand by the flag?
         C#       F#
was the question unasked
           A                       
Won't you join in and fight with 
   E
the allies?
 C#m           G#7            B  
What could we say? We're only 25 
       E
years old
     C#m        E               B
With 25 sweet summers, and hot 
            A
fires in the cold
 C#m         G#m           
This kind of life makes that 
    B        E
violence unthinkable
               A                A 
We'd like to play hockey, have 
           A
kids and grow old

[Verse]
              A                  
Fighters for Texaco, fighters for 
   E
power
B             E                  
Fighters for longer turns in the 
   A
shower
              G#m      F#         
Don't tell me I can't fight cause 
      B
I'll punch out your lights
      E      A        B          
And history seems to agree that I
             B       B
 would fight you for me
  C#m                A       B G#
That us would fight them for we

C#m          G#m7         B     
He's just a peacenik and she's 
       E
just a warhawk
C#m               E              
That's where the beach was, 
   B         A
that's where the sea
C#m            G#7            B 
What could we say? We're only 25
        E
 years old
     E       A        B
And history seems to agree
     B             B       B
That I would fight you for me
    C#m               A      B
That us would fight them for we

    C#m         A           B
Is that how it always will be?
