The war drags on
E D A E
1. Let me tell you the story of a soldier named Dan,
D A E
went out to
fight the good fight in
D A
E
Went out to fight for peace,
liberty and all,
D A E
went out to fight for
equality, hope, let's go.
D - A
E
And the wa….r
drags on.

A E
2. Found himself involved in a sea of blood and bones,
D A
E
millions
without faces, without hope and without homes.
D A E
And the guns they grew louder
as they made dust out of bones,
D
A E
that the
flesh had long since left just as the people left their homes.
D - A E
And the wa….r
drags on.
E D A E
3. They're just there to try and make the people free,
D A
E
but the way that they're doing
it, it don't seem like that to me.
D A
E
Just more blood-letting and
misery and tears,
D
A E
that this
poor country's known for the last twenty years.
D - A E
And the wa….r
drags on.

4. Last night poor Dan had a nightmare it seems,
D A E
one kept occurring and
re-occurring in his dream:
D
A E
Cities full of people burnin’, screamin’, shoutin' loud,
D
A
E
and right over head a great
orange mushroom cloud.
D - A E
And there's n…..o more war,
D A E
for there's no, no more world,
D
A
E
and the tears come streaming
down.
D A
E
Yes, I lie crying
on the ground,
