Guns N' Roses - Civil War
[INTRO]"What we've got here is failure to communicate.
Em G Em G D/F#
Em G Em G D/F#
Some men you just can't reach...
So, you get what we had here last week
Which is the way he wants it!
Well, he gets it!
N' I don't like it anymore than you, men."
Em
Look at your young men fighting
G
Look at your women crying
Em
Look at your young men dying
G D/F# Em G Em G D/F#
The way they've always done before
Em
Look at the hate we're breeding
G
Look at the fear we're feeding
Em
Look at the lives we're leading
G D/F# A B/A C/A D/A
The way we've always done before
Em
My hands are tied
G
The billions shift from side to side
D/F# Em
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
G D/F#
For the love of God and our human rights
Em
And all these things are swept aside
G
By bloody hands time can't deny
D/F# Em
And are washed away by your genocide
G D/F# A B/A C/A D/A Em G Em G D/F# Em G Em G D/F#
And history hides the lies of our civil wars
G
D'you wear a black amrband
Bm
When they shot the man
Em
Who said "Peace could last forever"
G
And in my first memories
Bm7
They shot Kennedy
Em C D
And I went numb when I learned to see
G Bm
So I never fell for Vietnam
Em
We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all
G
That you can't trust freedom
Bm7
When it's not in your hands
Em
When everybody's fighting
C D
For their promised land
G Bm Em
And I don't need your civil war
G Bm7 Em C D
It feeds the rich while buries the poor
G Bm
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
Em
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
G Bm Em C D
G Bm7 Em GBm7 Em C D G Bm7 Em G Bm7 Em C D
I don't need your civil war
Em
Look at the shoes you're filling
G
Look at the blood we're spilling
Em
Look at the world we're killing
G D/F#
The way we've always done before
Em
Look in the doubt we've wallowed
G
Look at the leaders we've followed
Em
Look at the lies we've swallowed
G D/F# A B/A C/A D/A
And I don't want to hear no more
Em
My hands are tied
G
For all I've seen has changed my mind
D/F# Em
But still the wars go on as the years go by
G D/F#
Wuth no love of God or human rights
Em
'Cause all these dreams are swept aside
G D/F#
By bloody hands of the hypnotized
Em
Who carry the cross of homicide
G D/F# A B/A C/A D/A Em G Em G D/F#
And history bears the scars of our civil wars
Em G Em G D/F#
A B/A C/A D/A F/A C/A
"We practice selective annihilation of mayors
A B/A C/A D/A F/A C/A
And government officials
A B/A C/A D/A F/A C/A
For example to create a vacuum
A B/A C/A D/A F/A C/A
Then we fill that vacuum
A B/A C/A D/A F/A C/A
As popular war advances.
A B/A C/A D/A F/A C/A
Peace is closer."
G Bm Em
I don't need your civil war

Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
Em
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
G Bm Em C D
And I don't need your civil war
G Bm Em
I don't need your civil war
G Bm Em C D
I don't need your civil war
G Bm
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
Em
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
G Bm Em C D
I don't need your civil war
G Bm Em G Bm7 Em C D G Bm Em
I don't need one more war
G Bm Em C D G
And I don't need one more war
Whaz so civil 'bout war anyway?
