Tuning: EADGBE (Standard)
Great acoustic anthem from 'The Speakeasy'
Comments/suggestions/criticism welcome and encouraged.
Chords are the same throughout the whole song except at the end.
Timing is slightly different every other time you play the 4 chord progression.
Intro: G, Em, C, D
[G]Eight years ago on a summers night
On the [Em]streets of L.A. was our first fight
[C]Turned out to be the first of many [D]more
[G]The country was all in up rise
[Em]Who the blame and who to fight
Who to [C]kill and bomb[D]
To settle the [G]score
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/smoke_or_fire/honey_i_was_right_about_the_war_crd.html )
[G]You said "My love, at times like these
[Em]You don't dare question the president,"
[C]And I raised my voice to the girl I most [D]adore
[G]I said "I know it's hard for you to see
But I [Em]will not blindly follow one who blindly leads[C]
No [D]matter what the [G]cause."
[G]Three thousand dead in NYC
And now three t[Em]housand more across the sea[C]
No-one can tell me what [D]for
[G]And I'm not one to say I told you so
But [Em]time has passed, and now we know
That [C]honey, I was [D]right about the [G]war
Em (let ring)
Rich man's chess game is called "a war"
C (let ring) D (let ring)
And the pawns they use are named "the poor"
And no-one ever wins
[G]And I say for shame on anyone
[Em]Who orders young men to shoot a gun
For these [C]gods you all kill and die so easily [D]for
[G]My dear, the end is coming soon
Not [Em]for the Earth, but for me and you
And [C]every other [D]soul who shares the [G]world
Kill a [C]million men, but [D]ideas will still [G]endure
[C]People were not m[D]eant to shoot for s[G]port
C (let ring) D (let ring) G (let ring)
God dammit, I was right about the war
Honey, I Was Right About The War - Smoke or Fire
