Sting - This War

Intro: Em 



       C

You've got the mouth of a she wolf

           Am

Inside the mask of an innocent lamb

             Em

You say your heart is all compassion

                   Dsus2&F#           G

But there's just a flat line on your cardiogram





        Am                        C

Yet you always made a profit baby

                             Em

If it was a famine or a feast





             C

Yes, I'm the soul of indiscretion,

      Am

I was cursed with x-ray vision,

        Em

I could see right through all the lies you told,

         Dsus2&F#            G

When you smiled for the television





            Am                    C

And you can see the coming battle

                                   Em

You pray the drums will never cease

            Am                        C

And you may win this war that's coming

                                 Em

But would you tolerate the peace?





       D     G   C  Am

OoHooHoooooHoooHoooooo

  D

Investing in munitions

          G

And those little cotton flags

          C

Invest in wooden caskets

            Am                           G Em

In guns and body bags, guns and body bags





     C

Your daddy was a businessman

       Am

And it always made good sense

             Em

You know the war can make you rich my friend

   Dsus2&F#            G

In dollars, pounds and cents





       Am                       C

In the temple that was Mammon's

                                   Em

You were ordained the parish priest

          Am                       C

Yes you may win this coming battle

                                 Em

But could you tolerate the peace?





       D     G   C  Am

OoHooHoooooHoooHoooooo

       D     G   C  Am

OoHooHoooooHoooHoooooo

  D

Invest in deadly weapons

          G

And those little cotton flags

          C

Invest in wooden caskets

            Am  

In guns and body bags

       D

You're invested in oppression

          G

Investing in corruption

                C

Invest in every tyranny

                             Am    G Em

And the whole world's destruction 





  G                 Em

I imagine there's a future

             G                Em

When all the earthly wars are over

        G                  Em

You may find yourself just standing there

       G               Em

On the white cliffs of Dover





        G                 Em

You may ask, what does it profit a man

            G                          Em

To gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul?

             G                   Em

Is that your body you see on the rocks below

       G              Em

As the tide begins to roll?





        Am                      C

And you invested in this prison

                                 Em

From which you never got released

             Am                          C       

You may have won this war we're fighting

                                 D  G  C  Am

But would you tolerate the peace?





       D     G   C  Am
