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

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

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