The War Is Over

Bm
Silent Soldiers on a silver screen,
G         Em              - G    
framed in fantasies and     
         Em
dragged in dream.
Am     D             G
Unpaid actors of the mystery,
Am               D          Em  
the mad director knows that 
                      D
freedom will not make you free.
Em                              D
and what's this got to do with me ?
   F                 C        
I declare the war is over, it's 
    G        D
over, it's over.

Bm
Drums are drizzling on a grain of 
sand,
G       Em                 - G   
fading rhythms of a         
    Em
fading land.
Am         D                    
Prove your courage in the proud 
G
parade,
Am         D             Em     
trust your leaders where 
                   D
mistakes are almost never made,
Em                              D
and they're afraid that I'm afraid

F                     C       
I'm afraid the war is over, it's 
    G            D
over, it's over.

Bm
Angry artists painting angry signs,
G         Em                - G  
use their vision just to       
        Em
blind the blind.
Am       D                 G
Poisoned players of a grizzly game,
Am       D                  Em  
one is guilty and the other gets
               D
 the point to blame,
Em                    D
pardon me, if I refrain
F                    C       
I declare the war is over, it's 
     G            D
over, it's over.


Bm
So do your duty, boys, and join with
 pride,
G          Em                  - 
serve your country in her        
G      Em
suicide.
Am       D                  
Find the flags so you can wave 
       G
goodbye,
Am                  D         Em
but just before the end even 
                        D
treason might be worth a try,
Em                        D
this country is to young to die.
F                    C       
I declare the war is over, it's 
     G            D
over, it's over.

Bm
One-legged veterans will greet the 
dawn,
G                     Em         
and they're whistling marches as 
            - G       Em
they        mow the lawn.
Am                     D    
And the gargoyles only sit and 
    G
grieve,
Am                D              
the gypsy fortune teller told me 
Em             D
that we'd been deceived,
Em                          D
you only are what you believe.
F                    C       
I believe the war is over, it's 
     G        D
over, it's over.
