Ebm
War - I despise

Cos it means destruction of anything alive

War means tears

In a thousand mothers eyes

When their sons go off fighting and lose their lives I said

Ebm F F Ebm F F
WAR! HUH! WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR? (absolutely) NOTHING! (War!)
Ebm F F Ebm F F
WAR! HUH! WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR? (absolutely) NOTHING! (Good god!)
Ebm F F Ebm F F
WAR! HUH! WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR? (absolutely) NOTHING!

Ebm
War has shattered many young man`s dreams

Playing the same old (???????????????)

Life is too short and precious to spend fighting

War don`t bring life, it can only take it away I said

Ebm F F Ebm F F
WAR! HUH! WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR? (say it again) NOTHING! (what?)
Ebm F F Ebm F F
WAR! HUH! WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR? (absolutely) NOTHING!
Ebm F F Ebm F F
WAR! HUH! WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR? (absolutely) NOTHING!

Ebm

Ebm
I know we must fight to keep our freedom

But I know there`s got to be a better way

then vocally ad lib it with various echoed `NO!`s and `Woah-oh`s and stuff
for a bit then:

N.C.
WARWARWARWARWARWARWARWARWARWARWARWARWARWARWARWARWARWARWARWAR... etc.

Note:

During the verses - the Ebm changes slightly like, and I can`t say
for sure what to here are the chords it might be, it could be all
of them - but it makes playing the verses more interesting anyway!

Hope this is of some help.
