1983 Lindisfarne
[INTRO:] A F A F
[VERSE 1:]
[A]Talk about the last war, the past war, the one before
I [D]wanna salute the troops and what is more
I'd [A]like to toast a drink to the stink of the semaphore
I [E]wanna parade on the graves of the gone before[A] [F] [A] [F]
[VERSE 2:]
[A]We were all together then, officers and gentlemen
[D]Prisoners and pressmen, hound dogs and yellow men
[A]Three million dead or more, what a score
With [E]god on your side, you'll never loose another war
[CBORUS:]
But don't des[A]pair, there's more to [F]come
Make your re[A]pairs, re-skin your [D]drum
And I'll [C]guarantee World War [F7]Three
Will be the [E]biggest show you've ever [A]seen[F] [A] [F]
[VERSE 3:]
The [A]Russians are coming, I can feel it in my p**s
Better [D]get out your gun, set your sights and don't miss
Better [A]break out a bottle, make a toast to the past
If it [E]don't taste like vodka, you'd better make it last
[CBORUS:]
But don't des[A]pair, there's more to [F]come
Make your re[A]pairs, re-skin your [D]drum
And I'll [C]guarantee World War [F7]Three
Will be the [E]biggest show you've ever [A]seen
[INSTRUMENTAL:] A F A F A F A F E
[CBORUS:]
But don't des[A]pair, there's more to [F]come
Make your re[A]pairs, re-skin your [D]drum
And I'll [C]guarantee World War [F7]Three
Will be the [E]biggest show you've ever [A]seen
[BRIDGE:] A
What's this I see? There's still foliage on the tree
Someone said 'Hello', it was surely meant for me
"Hello", I replied, feeling strange inside
N.C.
He took me by the hand and he whispered an aside
"It's al[C]right, don't let it worry your [F]head
D F7 E N.C. (A)
War is over now, but unfortunately you are dead"
[INTERLUDE:] A F A F E
[CBORUS:]
But don't des[A]pair, there's more to [F]come
Go on, make your re[A]pairs, re-skin your [D]drum
And I'll [C]guarantee World War [F7]Three
Will be the [E]biggest show you've ever [A]seen
[OUTRO:] A F A F A F A F7 A
