D2I see you've found a box of my things - Infantries, tanks and smoldering airplane wings. These old pictures are cool. Tell me some stories Was it like the old war movies? Sit down son. Let me fill you in Where to begiDsusn? Let's start with the endD This black and whitAe photo don't capture the skDin From the flash of a guDsusn to a soldier who's donDe Trust me grandsoAn The war was in coloD2r ------------------------------------------------------------------ SAME CHORDS AS THE FIRST VERSE BUT DIFFERENT FLOW OF THE WORDS From shipyard to sea, From factory to sky From rivet to rifle, from boot camp to battle cry I wore the mask up high on a daylight run That held my face in its clammy hand Crawled over coconut logs and corpses in the coral sand
Where to begin? Let's start with the end This black and white photo don't capture the skin From the shock of a shell or the memory of smell If red is for Hell The war was in color I held the canvas bag over the railing The dead released, with the ship still sailing, Out of our hands and into the swallowing sea I felt the crossfire stitching up soldiers Into a blanket of dead, and as the night grows colder In a window back home, a Blue Star is traded for Gold. Where to begin? Let's start with the end This black and white photo don't capture the skin When metal is churned. And bodies are burned Victory earned The War was in color HERE YOU PLAY THE CHORUS CHORDS BUT SLOW THE SONG DOWN -------------------------------------------- Now I lay in my grave at age 21 Long before you were born Before I bore a son What good did it do? Well hopefully for you A world without war A life full of color =================================================== pick the speed back up here at play the end of Chorus twice Where to begin? Let's start with the end This black and white photo never captured my skin Once it was torn from an enemy thorn Straight through the core The war was in color
