Topic: Not the way
Most guys on Chordie Know for my instrumentals well if you have listen to this you will probably know why..
I wrote it a few years back dusted it off and gave it the full works. Listening to it I would have like to have given it a guitar break somewhere but as it was originally just a acoustic song the break would have made it just to long.
It's an anti war song. As any sounded minded person will tell you is the only war song worth listening to.
thanks for your time.

Not the Way Tony Kerry
1
[Em] Drifting away like [C] the clouds in the sky.
[Am] The smoke clears the battle [Em] field.
[Em] This was once my home [C] the place I was born.
[Am] Now it’s only rubble and [Em] ruin.
Chorus
[C] When will we [D] hear the voice of [Em] peace.
[C] Whenwill we [D] listen tothe voice of [Em]reason.
[C] When will we [D] realise [G] that war[Dsus2/F#] is not [Em] the way.
[C] When [D] Oh when [Em] will we learn.
2
[Em] Friends I grew up with [C] are now called my enemies.
[Am] and now we are so far [Em] apart.
[Em] Hate has replaced [C] allmy feelings.
[Am] and to kill has become common [Em] place.
Chorus
3
[Em] There was a time when I was [C] happy and carefree.
[Am] Only just dreaming of what my life would [Em] turn out to be.
[Em] Now I lay on the groundwith a [C] rifle in my hand.
[Am] Fighting for what we call our [Em] home land.
Chorus
4
[Em] The land I once worked is all [C] pitted and scared .
[Am] My life will never be [Em] the same.
[Em] My family is scattered [C] to the four winds.
[Am] I see no end [Em] in sight.
Chorus
