[Dm]
[D] If you sing the song the way [Dm] it was written, and you march along to the [A] beat of the drum,
[Dm] someday soon you're gonna [G] wake up singing,
[D] battle is over, [Dm] but the war go on.
Everybody please follow the leader.
What if the leader [A] has a gun?
[Dm] Remember when you jumped to [G] the 8 o'clock whistle, [Dm] battle is [A] over, but [Dm] the war go on.
You [Dm]
[D]
[Dm]
close your eyes, and you hear the thunder, cry in the rain, and [A] smile in the sun.
[D] Who do you fool but [G] me and you brother,
[D] the battle is over, [C] but the war [Dm] go on.
[D] Drunk with money, [Dm] you'd be a millionaire, frauds could kill, there'd be no one [A] here.
[D] So many thinking either, [G] and talking jive, [D] but it's only through love, this old world can still [Dm] rise.
Battle over, battle is over you, but the war go on.
