Stiff Little Fingers – Is That What You Fought The War For (Guitar)

       E                  A             
Yes, I know you did your bit back then

     E               A
But what was it you won?

E                    A          
Take a good look round you now. 

   B
Whose side were you on?

      A                           E   
And I wonder if you understand at all?

       A                         E     B
And I wonder if you ever ask yourself?

     E               A            
When everyone has an equal chance 

   E                  A
to live the life they buy

     E                    A                  
When free health care can save your life. 

    B
But queue until you die

      A                           E   
And I wonder if you understand at all?

       A                         E     B
And I wonder if you ever ask yourself?

   E                        A        
Is that what you fought the war for? 

   E                       B
Is that why you fought the war?

   E                        A        
Is that what you fought the war for? 

   E        B              A
Is that why you fought the war?

     E                 A          
When still the muscles make the man

     E             A
And men make women pay

     E                   A              
When Britain's flag is a badge of hate

      B
And just the fair can play

     E                   A          
When still the homeless, jobless cry 

      E               A
When money shouts and lies

    E                 A          
And buys off just enough to vote 

            B
And buy the other side

       A                           E   
Then I wonder if you understand at all?

       A                          E     B
And I wonder if you never ask yourself?

   E                        A        
Is that what you fought the war for? 

   E                       B
Is that why you fought the war?

   E                        A        
Is that what you fought the war for? 

   E        B              A
Is that why you fought the war?

F#             C#m
  At the going down of the sun

F#                    C#m
  And in the light of day

F#             C#m
  All you need remember is

   A                   B                E
We won't be taken like your generation again

   E                        A        
Is that what you fought the war for? 

   E                       B
Is that why you fought the war?

   E                        A        
Is that what you fought the war for? 

   E        B              A
Is that why you fought the war?

   E                        A        
Is that what you fought the war for? 

   E                       B
Is that why you fought the war?

   E                        A        
Is that what you fought the war for? 

   E        B              A
Is that why you fought the war?
