The Airborne Toxic Event – Brother How Was The War (Guitar)

G#m
I noticed how the leaves have changed

B
It's come to wintertime

E
I saw a bit of news today

E
I thought maybe I would drop a line

G#m     B                    E

[Verse]
[tab]G#m
I heard you met a woman there

B
I hope she makes you smile

E
All the shots they show of Vietnam

E
I swear I see your face once in a while

G#m     B                    E
        Brother, how was the war?

            G#m
Did you get over?

        F#                         E
Did you find what you were looking for?

G#m
She asks me all the time, she says

B
"Is he still alive?"

E
I remember all the games we'd play

E
You'd jump. You'd run. You'd seek. You'd never hide

G#m     B                    E
        Brother, how was the war?

             G#m
Did you stay sober?

        F#                         E
Did you find what you were looking for?

G#m             B
The days get so long in here

E
You wonder what you've lost and sold

G#m              B
All the bullshit passes year to year

E
Brother, did you get over?

G#m       B               C#m                 E
I see the draft committee signs

G#m      B                  C#m               E
McCarthy says we're winning hearts and minds

         C#m                                     E
But your 4f brother just hopes you make it back alive

G#m
I know I haven't written much

B
I'm doing okay, I guess

E
They say I make parole in sixteen weeks

E
I don't know, I'll try my best

G#m     B                    E
        Brother, how was the war?

G#m             B
The days get so long in here

E
You wonder what you've lost and sold

G#m              B
All the bullshit passes year to year

E
Brother, did we get older

       G#m     B       E
On the day the war had begun?

G#m          B       E
When were we ever young?
