Chords for Bob Marley-War(video)

The biggest inspiration for the rise in the Rasta movement was Marcus [B] Garvey, an early
[G#m] crusader for black rights and founder of the Back to Africa movement, but more [Em] importantly
as the man who prophesied,
_ Look to [E] Africa when a black king shall be crowned, for the day of deliverance is near.
[N]
A prophecy that came true when _ [E] Rastafari Aile Selassie was crowned emperor of Ethiopia
in [G#m]
1930.
_ _ [E] Emperor A.
Selassie, king of kings and lord of lords, conquering lion from the
tribe of Judah, came to visit Jamaica in [F#]
1966, the first African leader to land there.
He
received a tremendous welcome from the Rastafarians.
_ _ One of Selassie's speeches has been set to
music [F] by Bob Marley in the song War.

[B] And until the color of [A] a man's skin [B] is of no more _ [A] significance to [B] the color of his [A] eyes,
A _
_ [Bm] war _ _ _ [A] _ _
[Bm] is done to debate [A] the human rights [B] or equality [E] guaranteed to all [Bm] without regard to [A] race.

And [Bm] everything, _ _ _ [F#m] _
everywhere [B] is war.

_ [A] _
_ _ [B] A brutal love [A] war.

_ _ _ [Bm] We Africans [A] will fight, we find [Bm] it necessary.
_ [A] _
_ _ [Bm] We know we [A] shall win.
_ [Bm] We are _ [A]
