G C G And you say that the battle is over D And finally the war is all done
Go tell it to those with the wind in their nose
G C Who run from the sound of the gun G C G And write it on the sides of the great whaling ships C Or on ice floes where conscience is tossed with the wild in their eyes G D G C Em D It is they who must die and it's we who must measure the loss G C G And you say that the battle is over D And finally the world is at peace
You mean no one is dying and mothers don't weep
G C or it's not in the papers at least G C G There are those who would deal in the darkness of life C There are those who would tear down the sun. And most men are ruthless G D G C Em D but some will still weep, when the gifts we were given are gone G C G Now the blame cannot fall on the heads of a few D It's become such a part of the race
It's eternally tragic, that which is magic,
G C be killed at the end of the glorious chase G C G From young seals to great whales, from waters to wood C They will fall just like weeds in the wind. With fur coats and perfumes G D G C Em D and trophies on walls, what a hell of a race to call men G C G And you say that the battle is over D And finally the war is all done
Go tell it to those with the wind in their nose
G C Who run from the sound of the gun G C G And write it on the sides of the great whaling ships C Or on ice floes where conscience is tossed with the wild in their eyes G D G It is they who must die and it's we who must measure the loss C With the wild in their eyes G It is they who must die D G C G And it's we who must measure the loss
