War Rages On by Jordie Lane
War Rages On
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
Am
A little boy walks a lantern lit street
C Fmaj7
With a heartache in his eye
Am
He says if you buy a lucky coin
It's good for you and me
C G Em Am
This young boy, he was covered in the dirty life
Am
All his friends, they jump on top of me
C Fmaj7
And they ask, did I ride a kangaroo to school
Am
I said who told you that you silly boys
C Fmaj7
They said it was one of them Yankee fools
Am
They need a little food
Am
And they need a little money
C
While I just want to be back home
C
With my honey
Fmaj7
For I ain't seen her in so long
G Em Am
I can barely write this song
Am C
My heart is aching not for money like them
G
But for my darling back home
Am
How I been missing
Fmaj7
To my hotel I walk
C
A stumbling man
G Em Am
Homesick in Hoi
Am
Am
A ladyboy walks the dark promenade
C Fmaj7
She asks do you need cocaine, do you want to get laid
Am
And in the distance drunken Poms
Am
Are singing merry tunes
C Fmaj7
In the alley an old man sucks upon the hard life fumes
Am
He needs a little food
Am
And he needs a little money
C
While I just want to be back home
C
With my honey
fMaj7
For I ain't seen her in so long
G Em Am
I can barely sing this song
Am C
My heart is aching not for money like them
G
But for my darling back home
Am
How I been missing
FMaj7
To my hotel I trip
C
And hit my head with a bang
G Em Am
Drunk and disorderly in Nha Trang
Am
There's two dogs fornicating
Am
In the main street of town
C
Like street clowns putting on a show
Fmaj7
For the crowd that surrounds
Am
A little girl chokes upon the smoke
Am
That fills this Saigon sky
C
She puts out her hand
C
And preys to her lord
Fmaj7
Says don't let me die
Am
So I give her some food
Am
And 50,000 dong
C
But nothing compensates
Fmaj7
For a world that's done you wrong
C
She was born into a life where
G Em Am
A silent war rages on
