           Em                       G
I've spent 20 years learning to live

     Am                    Em
In a world that takes back all that it gives

      C             D
But I do not want a war

(Same for verse two)

               Em    G   C     D
'cause I'm not in for killing another man

Em   G   C         D
      Defending my holy land

   Em           G             C    D
As if there's a god who would understand

(Verse 3 - same pregression as Verses 1 and 2) (Chorus 2 - same as 1) C - -- Em Feeding the promised land (I'm sure if he just changes his bass strings like C-B-A-G-E, or if he

changes the entire chord as in C-G-Am-G-Em....anyway, he starts with C
and ends with Em!)

C - -- Em With your blood by my own hand

C
At Allah's own command

D
At Allah's own command

Lyrics: I've spent twenty years learning to live In a world that takes back all that it gives But I do not want a war I don't know what's going on In the scenes behind I worry about it some of the time And I hope there's not a war 'Cause I'm not in for killing another man Defending my holy land As if there's a god who would understand And I would walk across highways To find my fate If that might settle your crude debate But I do not want a war 'Cause I'm not in for killing another man Defending my holy land As if there's a god who would understand Feeding the promised land With your blood by my own hand At allah's own command At allah's own command I came up from the desert and here I will die Tooth for tooth and an eye for an eye Though I didn't want a war I went in for killing another man Defending my holy land As if there's a god who would understand As if there's a god who would understand I went in for killing another man Defending my holy land As if there's a god who would understand As if there's a god who would understand Oh yeah...
