War After The War

A       D
   So long, so long
A       D
   So long, so long

[Chorus]
A
What about the war after the war?
D
What about the war after the war?
A
I don't wanna sing about it anymore
D                               A
But who cares for them all when they
 get home?

A
What about the war after the war?
D
What about the war after the war?
A
Does anybody even care anymore?
D                               A
But who cares for them all when they
 get home?

[Verse 1]
Bm            D         A       
Born in North Carolina, first 
          E
born out of nine.
Bm                         A
Played little league ball, boy 
scouts, loved rock and roll.
Bm                       D       
Played soldiers with the boys, 
   A                E
spun bottles with the girls.
Bm                    D          
His world shook up on that 
    E
September morn.

He joined as a soldier to go out
              E
 and save the world.
Bm                      D        
Had roadside bombs blow right up 
       A
in his face.
Bm                   D     
Seeing dead ones and remains, 
           A            E
getting shot at once again
Bm                      A        
For an injured women or child he 
         E
couldn't help.This is hell.

[Bridge]
Bm            D                  
November 15th he gets home, 
   A                    E
feeling guilty desperate and alone.
Bm              D      A
His family they do not understand.
Bm              D
Angry drinking, sleeping on.
A                             
Wondering what the hell have we 
  E
really won?
Bm    D          E
Why did I get to survive while 
others died?
