Sting – This War (Ukulele)

       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
OoHooHoooooHoooHoooooo

It's war that they're demanding

And don't do nothing
