The War Song

Culture Club


Tom: Eb

 Ab
War, war is stupid And people are stupid
F#
And love means nothing In some strange quarters
Ab
War, war is stupid And people are stupid
F#
And I heard them banging On hearts and fingers
Ab
(War)

        Eb                 C#
Man is far behind In the search for something new
        Eb                 C#
Like a Philistine  We're burning witches too
        Eb                 C#
This world of fate   Must be designed for you
        Eb                   C#
It matters what you say  It matters what you do

             Ab
Now we're fighting  In our hearts
F#                             Fm
Fighting in the street  Won't somebody help me?

Ab
War, war is stupid   And people are stupid
F#
And love means nothing   In some strange quarters
Ab
War, war is stupid   And people are stupid
F#
And I heard them banging  On hearts and fingers
Ab
(War)

Abm        F#
After the bird has flown  
Abm                                 F#
He walked ten thousand miles back home

Abm                C#m
You can't do that to me, no
                    Abm
You can't do  that to me
                    C#m
You can't do that to me, no
                     Ab
You can't do that to me

   Ab
(War, war)

         Ab
In this heart of mine
    F#
I find a place for you
      Ab
For black or white
     F#
For all the children, too

               Ab
Now we're fighting  In our hearts
F#                       Fm
Fighting in the street  Won't somebody help me?

Ab
War, war is stupid   And people are stupid
     F#
And love means nothing   In some strange quarters
Ab
War, war is stupid   And people are stupid
F#
And I heard them banging  On hearts and fingers
Ab
