Verse 2: (chords as verse 1)
He says: this body I have been given shall be returned unto its maker
Beneath my clothes these secrets hidden, the sacrifice that I have to offer
By the checkpoint there are soldiers and the cypress branches waving
And the light is hard as glass and the sky is blue and cool and waiting
E5 F#5 G5 A5 x2
Chorus:
These Fstupid empty worAmds could all be wrFitten on the cAmold pale skin
Of the Fdead laid out in Dmshallow graves aBblong the road of bombed out palm trees
E5 F#5 G5 A5 x4
Verse 3: (chords as verse 1)
And in the corners of the bars and cafes, in every town, in every nation
There are these blood-sports on the TVs and the loaded toneless voices
There are cameras by the gravesides and in the executioners' chambers
There are cameras high above us to guide the missiles down from the heavens
Chorus:
I am Bbmnot at war,
Chorus:
I am G/Bnot at war G/D A/E
