Chords for The War Drags On (Mick Softley)

_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ Let me [Gm] tell you the story of a soldier [F] named Dan,
[Fm] _ _
Went off to fight [Bb] the good fight in South [Fm] Vietnam, _ _ _
Went [F] off to fight for [Bb] peace, liberty [F] and all,
[Fm] _ _
_ Went off [Ab] to fight for equality [Gm] and hope,
_ [Fm] Let's go!
_ [Ab] And the [Gm] war _ [F] drags on, _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] Found himself [Bb] involved in [Fm] a sea of blood and bones,
_ _ _ [F] Millions without [Bb] faces, without hope and [Fm] without homes,
_ _ And the guns [Eb] they grew louder [Gm] as they made [Fm] dust out of bones,
_ _ That [Ab] the flesh had long since [Gm] left, just as the people had [F] left their homes,
[Fm] _ _ [Ab] And the war [Gm] _ [F] drags on,
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ _ Uncle [Eb] Sam says he's [Bb] just there to [F] set the people free,
[Fm] _ But the [F] way that he's [Bb] doing it, it don't [Fm] seem like that to me,
_ _ Just more [Bb] blood, lead and [Fm] misery and tears,
_ _ That [Bb] this poor country's [Gm] known for the last twenty [Fm] years, _
[Ab] And the [Gm] war _ [F] drags on, _
[Bb] _ _ _ [Gm] _ [Ab] _ [F] _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ _ [Eb] Last night [Gm] poor Dan had [Fm] a nightmare it seemed,
_ _ One that [Bb] kept occurring and [Fm] reoccurring in his dreams,
_ _ Cities [Bb] full of people burning, screaming, [F] shouting out loud,
_ [Fm] _ [Ab] And right there overhead, [Gm] a great orange _ [Cm] mushrooming [Fm] cloud, _
[Ab] But there was [Gm] no, no [F] moral war,
For [Ab] there was no, [Gm] no [F] more [Fm] world, _
[Ab] And the [Gm] tears came [F] streaming down, _
_ [Db] As he lay there [Gm] slowly burning on [Cm] the [Fm] ground.
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
