Nice little tune, originally by Jacques Brel. Just the chords, the picking's not too difficult, apart from the very beginning, which is very pretty indeed. Chord table at the bottom: e---------------------2-3-----2-3--| B-------0-------0------------------| G-----2-------2--------------------| D---0-------0-------2-------2------| A----------------------------------| E-3-------3-------0-------0--------|
GSo men are still at war in Emthis land GFor certain songs and Cadd9certain dates Am7The tender gave way to the Dfirebrand Cadd9And Europe gave way to the B7States
GSo now that money's all but Emscentless FNoses and consciences are Cadd9clear Am7The pointless flowers can be Ddispensed with To see a friend in Gtears
G/F#So our defeats are just Emreminders Em/DOf death that waits behind it Cadd9all Am7The body wilts before the Dmind does Cadd9Surprised to see how soon it B7falls
GIt's true our women have Emdeceived us FAll hunted species Cadd9disappear Am7It's true we've shot the golden Deagles GTo see a friend in tears
It's true our cities are exhausted Made by and for the middle aged Our weakness gave them more than force did We thought that love could cure a toothache And in the underground we're drowning Accelerating through the years You think you'll find the truth by frowning To see a friend in tears It's true our mirrors don't show heroes We lack the courage to be Jews Without the elegance of Africa With our youthful fireworks all defused And all these men who are our brothers Wonder why we don't want to hear How their worst enemies are their lovers To see a friend in tears G Em C Am7 D B7 F G/F# e-3-0--0-0---2-2--1-3-----| B-0-0--3-1---3-0--1-0-----| G-0-0--0-0---2-2--2-0-----| D-0-2--2-2---0-1--3-0-----| A-2-2--3-0---0-2--3-0-----| E-3-0--0-0--------1-2-----| There's a little run here and there, say from Cadd9 to Am7, but these are the basics.
