John Gorka


Tom: C

INTRO: C  G    C

CHORUS:
          G                   C
War makes war, it won’t bring peace
              G             Am7      F
It just makes more, without cease


                     G              F
Peace will come from what is right
                     G             
Peace will come from trust
    F                    G           Am
The strength to stop the red, red wheel
                    G     Am
To make it lock and rust
                    G
To make it lock and rust


INTERLUDE: C  G    C  F


                  G         
We can learn from everyone
    F             G    F
How to, or not to be
                     G             Am
But we can learn the most from those
                   G   Am
Who think differently
                   G
Who think differently


CHORUS:
C         G                   C
War makes war, it won’t bring peace


INTERLUDE: C  G    C  F


                 G         
From the Book of Amos
    F                   G    
The words went into the dream
     F                     G            
"Let justice run down like water
Am                    G            Am
Righteousness like a mighty stream
         G                  C
Righteousness like a mighty stream"


INTERLUDE: C  G    C  G    C  F


                     G         
I still believe that there is hope
   F                 G    
If love is where our trust is
     F                G           C
"The arc of the moral universe is long
                     G        Am
But it bends towards justice
                     G         
But it bends towards justice"


CHORUS:   (## repeat and fade to end ##)
C         G                   C
War makes war, it won’t bring peace
              G             C
It just makes more, without cease
