[Intro] D G Em A F# Em F# A | D | G | × 4
D              G
So here we go again

D                   G
The old to and fro again

Em                         A
Backwards and forwards and forwards and backwards

Em                    A
You can say anything, just don’t say that word

D                    G
Play up and play the game

D                    G
Changing to stay the same

Em                    A
Do you remember when? No I don’t either

Em                    A
All this remembering we’re none the wiser

A
It’s time to let go and say
[Chorus]
D                 G
Don’t mention the war

Em                  A
Don’t talk of those days

F#              Em
What good is it for?

F#                Em
Don’t mention the war

D           G
Let history lie

Em                A
Kiss the old days goodbye

F#               Em
They’re no help anymore

F#                A
Don’t mention the war

D                   G
It may come as some surprise

D                          G
I’m told that the sun will rise

Em                           A
Come and forget all the your wrongs and my wrongs

Em                         A
Live and let live and let bygones be bygones

D                   G
Come join the great charade

D                 G
Don’t mention the marmalade

Em                    A
On with our helmets and back in the trenches

Em                    A
Sharing a joke with the Tommys and Frenchies

A
And just like before we’ll say
[Chorus]
D                 G
Don’t mention the war

Em                  A
Don’t talk of those days

F#              Em
What good is it for?

F#                Em
Don’t mention the war

D           G
Let history lie

Em                A
Kiss the old days goodbye

F#               Em
They’re no help anymore

F#                A
Don’t mention the war
